Fundraising for Stray Aid

by

We have been fundraising this week for @StrayAidDogs. This event was organised by one of our Year 6 children, and all of the children from @westcornforthps had lots of fun baking, and buying, biscuits and cakes for a great cause! Thank you to all of the parents, carers and children who donated money to the chosen charity, we managed to raise £120 for Stray Aid.

 

Online Learning Platform

by

Hopefully, all being well, the setup of Office 365, as our online education platform, should be completed next week. This will mean that children will be able to access our online education platform from home, and access lessons with their teacher. We will use this alongside other appropriate online platforms (Mathletics, myON, Tapestry etc.) to ensure children can access their curriculum from home. Teachers will be able to provide feedback through the appropriate channels to ensure children continue to make progress whilst working from home.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Before allowing your child to access their Office 365 account, please ensure that you have read and understood the following policies (as they also apply to online learning from home):

Online Learning AUP October 2020
Online Safety Policy 2020-2021

In order to ensure online teaching sessions are of the highest quality, please also be aware that lessons will be recorded for monitoring purposes.

Thank you.
