Since this policy was adopted, Teams has been set up and introduced for Year 6 pupils and sharing of assignments, daily virtual meetings and communication via Teams has been implemented. During a full lockdown, daily virtual class sessions were also used to support the children's emotional and social development. Where staffing levels allowed, regular small group virtual writing sessions were also used.
