Latest Distance Learning Update

We would like to keep you informed of progress with our approach to ‘Distance Learning’.

Here are the key points, at this moment in time.

1. Pupil wellbeing must be our number one concern. If it helps for them to do ‘school work’, do ‘school work’. If it doesn’t, don’t
2. We believe that it is important that staff and pupils maintain communication by whatever means possible. If you get tired of staff emailing/phoning please let us know. (We’d rather be told off for too much rather than too little)
3. Our provision through Google Classroom/Hwb and SeeSaw will be problematic for staff, parents and learners, at first, but hopefully we will all get better over time.
4. We know some families do not have hardware (computers or devices) and/or internet. We are going to address this (either with or without support from Welsh Government/County)
5. We hope to provide every pupil with a means to access Hwb or SeeSaw with the next 10 days. (This will obviously be a financial and logistical challenge, even with Welsh Government/County support)
6. You CAN call us, email us, message on Facebook or Twitter with ANY issues or concerns. Individual teacher emails are on the website.
7. As stated at the beginning our main priority, right now, is to reduce the negative impact of lockdown on ALL pupils and families and extra resources will be directed to those who are more vulnerable for a wide variety of reasons.

Thank you all for your support and do not hesitate to get in touch if you need help and support or just to talk.
