How you can help your child

• Family comes first and must be your priority
• You are not expected to be your child’s teacher. Please do contact the school if you are struggling with the work that has been set
• It would be helpful to provide a dedicated work-space for your child along with the following equipment: IT device/pad of paper/notebook/exercise books/pen, pencil, colouring pens/pencils/maths equipment/ruler/reading book (age appropriate)
• Stick to a routine where possible. It may be helpful to print out a copy of your family timetable and how the school day will fit into it
• Recognise the need for regular breaks for your children
• Help your child to eat healthily
• Encourage children to keep in contact with their friends
• Enable children to be punctual for any live sessions
• During academic learning, the focus should be entirely on schoolwork sessions, therefore apps/tabs that are not relevant to academic learning should be closed and mobile phones put away
• Keep communicating with us – if there is something that needs to be addressed or we could be doing something better, please do let us know
• For Games and PE activities, it might be helpful for children to change into sports clothes to make a healthy distinction between academic work and physical exercise
