Strike Action Wednesday 5th July and Friday 7th July: Remote Learning and Online Subject Resources
Dear Parent/Carer,
Further to Mr Mort’s correspondence on 26th June, I am writing to confirm how students will access learning as a result of the planned teacher strikes. Please see the information below:

Our intention for those students who will be accessing learning in school is to ensure that as many classes as possible run as normal, however, we may have to apply some flexibility dependant on staffing levels on the day.
Students accessing learning from home on strike days will utilise online learning resources or learning set by their teacher. Please direct your child to their Teams account on the day where further information will be available.
Alternatively, if work is unavailable on Teams, students in Key Stage 3 (years 7 and 8) and students in Key Stage 4 (Years 9 and 10) can access ‘Online Subject Resources’ on the school website under ‘A Place of Learning’. ‘Online Subject Resources’ are found in the drop-down menu and they contain links to relevant websites to enhance learning on current units of study being undertaken in lessons.
Students in Key stage 3 and 4 can also access the free online educational websites stated below:
