We had a contingency plan in place throughout the Coronavirus pandemic to provide remote learning to pupils whilst there was limited opening of our school. This was reviewed regularly in light the most current government guidelines. See scenarios 1 and 2 below.
We also have a remote learning scenario in place in case of school closure relating to flooding. See scenario 3 below.
