This provision will be supplemented with additional work set via the Home Learning pages on the School Website and additional work packs printed and sent home. Additional links to the Oak National Academy curriculum and White Rose Curriculum are available.
- Families who are unable to access suitable technology will receive support from the school to access a borrowed device.
- Prepared work packs at school, available to be picked up or sent home.
- All online learning and teaching will be carried out in accordance with the updated OLQOH Safeguarding policy.
