Following the Government’s announcement, all schools are now closed to all pupils, except a few identified groups.
Staff will not be responding to individual emails from parents. Teachers may respond to students who have questions about their current work, however there maybe delays in their response.
When should I study?
Where possible stick to the school timetable. Try and follow your school timetable. If you have English Wednesday morning, you should study English. Avoid getting into a routine of getting up late, not completing andy work or spending excessive time on computer games or social media.
