Remote Education
Information for Parents/Carers
This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to students and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education.
If the period of remote learning is short. The curriculum might be different from our published materials. If the remote learning period is extended teachers will work hard to keep to the normal curriculum.
As far as practicable, students will receive the same curriculum as would be the case in school. Tasks in practical subjects such as Art, Design and Technology, Drama, Food, Music, PE and Science will be adapted when necessary for remote learning.
