Home Learning During School Closures

At St Mary’s, we are committed to providing the children with the best possible opportunities to learn, whether they are at home or at school. As such, we have provided a home learning pack for each child to work through in their time away from school. Please check out the Year 4 Learning Blog to see some of the wonderful work pupils are producing from home.
