Please find a link to our latest Remote Learning Policy by clicking here. This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education if local restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home. For details of what to expect where individual pupils are self-isolating, please see the final question on the page.
As a school, we have moved to using Class Dojo for EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2 and Google Classroom from Year 3 to Year 6 for our remote learning. All pupils have individual logins and access to the online learning platforms. Please feel free to share any of the work you are doing at home by simply adding #GSPSHomeLearning to your tweets.
Below are user guides on how to access each online platform and how to submit work.
