Please see below for a message from the Principal, Mr B Erwin regarding the school policy on live video lessons

In the world that we are living in, there is a growing pressure to ensure video messaging is utilised more and more. I realise this is an excellent medium to enhance learning, when there has been a diet of faceless learning. However, I ask you to consider the safeguarding aspects, particularly to ensure everyone is safe that uses this medium.


As the Principal of the school, I have taken the decision *not* to allow live video lessons. However, pre-recorded lessons are entirely at the discretion of individual teachers, but are subject to vetting and adherence to strict school based protocols, before being released. This is to ensure the safety of students and staff.


There should not be any expectation that staff should record lessons, nor do I wish for students or parents/carers to insist this to be the expectation.

As we enter our fourth official week of Home learning, we are still adapting and trying to ensure that learning and wellbeing are core components of each week. Juggling home learning and all the other pressures that are placed on us is proving an ‘interesting challenge’. Something that we feel is essential to emphasise, is that we/you are not trying to provide a school at home. That is all but impossible! Our hopes are that there is a continuation of learning and that this can be achieved in manageable chunks each day. We are not expecting your children to be trying to maintain their ‘normal timetable’.

You can download our suggested timings and subjects here

We have tried to create a format that we think will help to structure the day for your children. The blocks can be divided throughout the day however you see fit. The subjects can be altered if this works better for you. This format may not work for you and if you are using other methods that are working, then please continue to use them.

An important addition for clarity: Staff have been asked to set work that does not require marking. There may be some tasks where staff might share feedback. We welcome any completed work to be shared with us. The quality of the work shared so far has been incredible, and we thank you for helping support your children’s efforts.

During these difficult times, all we ask is you do your best within the circumstances you find yourself. Home learning is important, as is looking after yourself and your family. Please try and strike the right balance for you. As often as possible try and provide positive experiences for you and your family with the extra time at your disposal.
