What a week it’s been with staff getting tired yet, the continual pursuit to do the best for our children whilst emphasising with the difficulties the parents have. The lateral flow tests began this week and the uptake has being quite low. As the weeks go by and the learning from remote systems and processes … Continue reading
Taking part in the webinars, reading the books about remote learning and the sharing of what we do – it’s all very important. Boris Johnson has now announced that schools are aiming to return on the 8th of March, if the science suggests it is safe. Difficult times as I’ve said so many times and … Continue reading
Days 11 and 12 of remote learning, sandwiching the weekend. You could always question whether there has been learning when it is remote or is it remote education and you hope some learning takes place? Friday was incredibly busy with some great achievements throughout the day. All a bit of a blur and by the … Continue reading
Lovely clear sky tonight with the stars shining through. Bitterly cold though but certainly make sure that you are awake. The last two days have been quite intensive with some letters, policies and ongoing bits of admin work to do.

Fifth day back at school with remote learning. Out of interest I think I’ll count the school days since the start of it all on the 23 March. Any ideas? It’s been a really busy one. The day started looking over some work that we need to do so that we can let our parents … Continue reading
Forth day of remote learning in this third lockdown completed. Since the announcement of lockdown number 3 just over a week ago, understandably, many have been working very hard to put in many cases, well planned and effective remote learning for the children. It has been great and extremely reassuring to see staff working with … Continue reading
Back at school for the first two days after the Christmas holidays – somewhat fortunate considering the lockdown that we weren’t due to return until Thursday, the 7th of January. It’s always brilliant to welcome the children back, to see staff and for those at home, remotely connecting – that positivity of togetherness. As the … Continue reading
Children return to school tomorrow; some in person and some via remote means. The Christmas and New Year break is now over and so much has been and still needs to be done. The work that goes into organising what is needed for a return to school, and by return to school I mean those … Continue reading
