Working at home timetable for school closure

Whilst the school is closed it is important that you maintain a routine and continue with your education. Below is a weekly timetable for you to follow to enable you to keep up with your studies. We recommend that you put a daily timetable in place of when you will do the work to help keep a sense of normality and to ensure you get everything done.

Those of you that have applied for college are advised to contact the college and ask what you should be doing during this time to prepare. It is important that you still revise the content you have been studying even though you haven’t got exams – you will still need all that knowledge for your future.

PE – All students should get at least 30 minutes exercise a day
