Guidance and Help Documents

During this unprecedented time, all the staff at BWJPS would like to make yours – and your child’s – time at home as stress-free as possible. To do this, we have gathered and prepared a number of resources.

Your child has been given a school email. Details for this were given to you in a letter which was sent home. Should you struggle to access this email, please use this document or get in contact with your child’s class teacher.

This email will be used to provide your child with details of the tasks they are expected to complete each day. This can also be used to ask any questions.

Your child has also been provided with a home learning pack. This contains workbooks and documents for your child’s learning while school is closed. Additional tasks and documents may be sent (via your child’s email) to supplement this learning and ensure all subjects are covered, where possible.

Below, you will also find useful websites and documents to help your child’s learning during this time. There is existing information (on this website) which you may find useful; such as our useful links page and your child’s long term plan for their year – which details the topics they would have been covering in school. These can be found below:
