This page has been set up as a starting point to provide online learning opportunities for any children who may currently be being educated at home.  The page will develop over time, and we hope you are able to make use of the links and resources as they are added.

If you go to the 'Curriculum' link, you will find under Mathematics links to the mad minutes questions, calculations policies, Numbots, Timetable Rockstars, Interactive Maths learning and Maths Vocabulary.  Click on the English link to access useful websites for literacy. By going on the 'Parents' link above you can find the Home Learning section.

There is a list here of learning websites that may be useful as a starting point.
