Dear Parents, Carers and Values Academy students, I hope that all is well and that you are able to remain safe.
As you will be aware due to a member of the School Community testing positive for C-19 the school has had to temporarily close.
Please find attached work that can be completed during throughout the school closure. Teachers will continue to send work to you throughout this period.
I will also give instructions of how to access the remote learning sites that Values Academy are currently using to support you and your learning.
We are currently using Oak Academy, BBC Bitesize, Mathletics and Britannica School. All of these sites can be accessed via Google directly. We have also provided links via our Values Academy website.
To access the links, search for Values Academy, once on the site click on STUDENTS, next click on ONLINE RESOURCES. You will then see links to the available sites. If you experience any difficulty you will be able to access these sites directly via Google. You will be able to access the sites on a laptop, tablet or mobile phone that has access to the internet.
