We have been delivering an excellent Virtual School Experience since mid March. Our children are engaged in a blend of live and asynchronous lessons, complemented by ASCs, Assemblies, and buddy hangouts to help maintain a sense of social interaction where possible. We are using a range of remote learning platforms including Google Classroom, Google Sites and Google Hangouts Meet, Seesaw, Salesforce Parent Portal and School Email. Our aim is to ensure that children of all ages are supported to learn and make great progress wherever they are in the world.
