We understand that home learning can be challenging for many children and families, particularly those with additional needs.

Over the past year, we have all had to adapt to new ways of working and we acknowledge that this has not been easy for anyone. We fully understand that you or your child might be feeling a little anxious at this time but we wanted to assure you that we are here for you every step of the way.

The school SENDCo, your child's teacher and the support staff have been working very hard to ensure that the online teaching being delivered during this closure period, supports the needs of your child and their individual next steps in learning.

To further support you, we have put together some resources on this site that we think might help with managing learning at home.

You can start by accessing our FAQ's page here where you may find links to resources that can help.

Please remember, we are here to help! If you cannot find anything you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact your child's class teacher / SENDCo who will be able to help.

BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

This week's book is 'The Ship of Shadows' by Maria Kuzniar.

Aleja is a dreamer who longs for a life of magic and adventure. So when a mysterious ship arrives in her Spanish harbour city, crewed by a band of ruthless women, Aleja knows it's sailed right out of a legend. Most importantly, it wants her. However, life aboard the Ship of Shadows is more than even she bargained for. It will take all of Aleja's strength and skill to gain the trust of her fellow pirates - and discover what they are risking everything to find . . .

Ship of Shadows is an utterly spellbinding read from start to finish. Be enthralled by the daring, feisty and fearsome band of pirates as they set sail on the Seven Seas. Meet otherworldly and supernatural creatures all in the search of glorious treasures. This swashbuckling tale has it all - storms in jars, magic kraken bells, lost cities and a truly unique pirate ship, and I loved it. A new instant favourite of mine, Ship of Shadows is a feast for the imagination; utterly captivating in all its glory. Mr Perrott.
