Thank you for all your comments and feedback about Home Learning. Click here for more feedback from the Home Learning Questionnaire (Feb 2021)
‘Support from teachers is absolutely amazing and making our home schooling so much easier and less stressful.’
‘I love how organised they are. Each worksheet is numbered with the day it’s to be done, then we have a chart with the activities for each day with a little explanation of what’s to do be done. Makes home-schooling easier which then makes it more enjoyable. Thank you’
‘The day to day packs are a brilliant idea and keeping them away from the screens.’
‘Your home learning packs have been amazing, so simple for parents to teach. You gave everything to help, couldn't have asked for anymore. Super job👍👍👍’
