Home Learning
Children have logins to their Class Dojo, Purple Mash, Times Tables Rockstars and Mathletics accounts.
Please find below a list of some websites that can be used by children and parents at home. They have been broken down into different subjects but often websites do in fact cover the whole curriculum. None of these websites require payment to access so some of the obvious platforms haven’t been included but some may have premium resources that require payment. Some do require you to log in or create a free account to access their materials. This list will be regularly updated with more links as we find them.
If your child is having to isolate at home due to Covid and are well enough to do some school work, please look at the following link to The Oak Academy:
