Our top tips:

  • Try to encourage your child to be ready and dressed for the start of the school day.

  • Our timetable is flexible however work with your child to ensure they understand and can follow the timetable - help them create a routine and stick to it.

  • Distinguish between weekdays and weekends as well as make it clear when the school day is over, to support your child to separate home and school life.

  • Plan breaks and exercise into the day to help keep your child active.

  • You will need to log out of all other google accounts before logging in to your child’s google classroom.
