Ways to find help in West Lancashire

The Easter holidays are now officially over, although, as you know, we’ve been continuing our childcare provision for children of keyworkers as usual during this time. Remember, you can access school work and homeschooling materials from your child’s teacher on the relevant class pages of the school website. We will resume setting new work now the ‘holidays’ are over. If you need us, we are at school so please do not hesitate to contact us. We will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible if it’s the weekend or after 3.15pm - just leave a message. Thank you to those of you who have been in touch to share work or pictures. We’ve loved seeing them. To help with your online learning there are 2 very useful links below with some fantastic lessons covering a range of subjects, The Oak National Academy and BBC Bitesize Daily. We hope you enjoy these websites but remember to check out Teacher Pages too for further links and ideas to aid you in your home learning. Stay safe everyone, we are missing all of you.
