Home Learning
We are committed to our vision of growing minds for learning, crafting skills for life and so we are working hard to support pupils’ learning from home during the pandemic. We have trained staff and pupils in using Microsoft Teams, and years 1 to 6 who are learning at home should access their learning on there daily. There is a video here to explain how to log in to Teams. Nursery and Reception pupils' learning can be accessed on the pages below. Check back here and on your child's Teams page for videos and learning links throughout.
We know learning at home is difficult to manage, and we want to do all that we can to support. Please do not hesitate to get in touch, either via the school office or the class email addresses.
If you would like more information about our remote learning offer, you can read our document for parents here, or our Remote Learning Policy here.

A Suggested Daily Timetable
We strongly recommend that you commit to a sense of routine during these days and enable your child to complete the learning activities given; we all benefit from routine and structure and this can be particularly beneficial during unusual and concerning times such as these. We acknowledge that many parents will be working at home and the learning activities are designed to fit in with your own busy schedules.

During the lockdown we will be communicating regularly with you. It is really important that you have access to Parent Mail, so please let us know if you need support with this. We will use Facebook as a support for parents and carers, adding home learning tips and tricks. We will have access to emails, so please do email any enquiries in. We will do our best to answer these promptly during the usual school opening hours.
Please do contact the school office should you have any questions or concerns. Urgent enquires can be made by phone (t: 01494 523218), but we ask that less urgent enquiries are submitted via email at office@ashhillprimary.co.uk. We love to hear from pupils too, so encourage them to write a message you can email to us.
