If your child is isolating at home but are feeling well, they will be able to remote in to their lessons in school with their class teacher; providing the member of staff is not absent. The class teacher's will be online daily and your child can remote into the lessons and access their work. They will be able to speak to the teacher and ask questions. As a school, we are proud of the remote learning provision we have provided and will continue to stride to ensure all children can access an education, despite the difficulties Covid may present.

Our Year 6 Leavers Music Video

We cannot tell you how proud we are of this bunch of children. They have shown such resilience throughout the Pandemic and have come out the other side amazing individuals. In collaboration with Magic Mountain Creative the children wrote their own lyrics, recorded their songs and performed with confidence for the camera. This is a memory to keep forever of their time here at Hillary. We hope you enjoy this video as much as the children and staff did. Well Done Year 6! (magicmountaincreative.com)
