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.
KSCS Leadership Team
At KSCS we know this is a really difficult time and students may feel they need to talk to someone about their wellbeing.
Please contact us by email on Needtotalk [at] kscs.org.uk with a brief outline of how we can help (please make sure your parents/carers are aware) and someone will be in touch.
Also please check out specialist support services available to all students here

Next week, parents/carers and students of Year 8 will receive information on how to make their Pathways Preferences for September's curriculum. This is the process of making student preferences for the courses they wish to study at Key Stage 4. Documentation and instructions will be sent via email.
If you have any queries in completing this process please email pathways [at] kscs.org.uk.
Thank you,
