 Access to School Provision from January 2021

We have contacted parents who are key workers and those who have children we have identified as vulnerable to offer a school place during this lockdown.  If you have not been contacted and wish your child to access the provision please let us know by emailing admin@beaford-primary.devon.sch.uk. 

We will be aiming to put children into consistent bubbles in school, which may be different to their usual class base dependent upon numbers. They will be supported to complete the tasks as set for children learning remotely by school staff. Due to the expectation that we are also offering remote learning this will not necessarily be with their usual class teacher or teaching assistant. Please note that if you do not wish to accept this place, there will be an expectation that remote learning is completed at home following our policy.

Nursery Provision from January 2021

Our nursery is currently open for funded 2 and 3 year old children.  We are not currently open for non funded 2 year old children.  This will be reviewed following any changes to the government guidance.

For the latest information or if you wish to enrol your child at our nursery please contact the school office on 01805 603263 for further details.

Remote Learning

All children now have remote learning set up on their Google classroom and should be engaging with this from the 6th January. Please be assured that our approach to this challenge is one of partnership with you; we recognise the challenges and we are learning how to do this alongside you.  

The government expectation is that children who are learning at home are accessing around 3 hours of learning per day.  Please see our remote learning page for further details.

Laptop loan to support remote learning

 We have a limited number of school laptops which we can lend to families. Please contact the school office if you would like to borrow one.  This device can remain at home until such time as the schools reopen more widely and be used to access google classroom and other learning support.
