Year One - Remote Learning
Welcome back to an unusual start to Spring term, Year 1. I hope that you have had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I am very sad that we have not been able to welcome you all back in to school. However, hopefully this will be short term and we will be back together very soon. As always, we are very grateful of your support and we understand the difficulty of home schooling children during the current climate. Please be reassured that we are only an email or phone call away should you need anything.
