Time to Rest

Three weeks completed with all children back at school. About a week a go we were talking about how it would be great to keep going rather than the stop-start nature of now. Another week on and I’m glad the break is here. To be fair, we haven’t stopped for almost a year. Even in … Continue reading →

Share, Collaborate and Communicate

Whilst schools have not closed and have actually opened over holidays, all returned this week and have now had two days back. With a mere 13 absent out of almost 430, it’s an impressive 96.7% attendance – I must admit, I didn’t expect that. The picture upon the mass return was a very cheery one. … Continue reading →

We have not lost a year of education!

Posted on March 6, 2021 by denhamkite • Leave a comment

49 weeks have passed since the initial lockdown and the start of what has been an incredibly difficult year for so many.
