Home Learning (Restored January 2021)

The following page was removed from the website in August 2020 with the return of children to school. Following yesterday's announcement that schools are to close and teach remotely until the half term holidays we thought we would restore the page for you to use as you wish. Some of the content is possibly now out of date but we wil endeavor to update the page and add new content where possible.

CBBC and BBC Bitesize

We highlighted back in April the fantastic new content BBC bitesize had added to help with Home Learning. The bitesize videos, explanations and games are used regularly in school. The BBC announced yesterday (5/1/20) that they are increasing their support of Home Learning again for the current school closures. They are putting 3 hours of Primary School lessons onto CBBC every morning of the school closure period. this is alongside the fantastic Bitesize resource that you can access by clicking the picture.
