Online Learning Apps & Sites
The Internet is an invaluable tool for teaching and learning and is an amazing resource. However, it is very important to keep your child safe online. There are many sites online that provide a wealth of up to date information about how parents/carers can support their child with online safety. Please do visit these sites and 'Be SMART online!'
Platforms that cover a range of subjects for all year groups
These three sites cover many, if not all, the course materials of most of the subjects across KS3, KS4 and KS5, in other words across all year groups.
