Year 7 Remote Learning
FOR ATTENTION OF YEAR 7 PARENTS & CARERS: Dear Year 7 Parent / Carer, As is the case with most schools nationally, Priory School staff absence rates are critically high at the moment, and will be again for Thursday and Friday this week. Today (Wednesday) we have one Year group working remotely: unfortunately we need to ask Year 7 students to work at home on Thursday (31 March) and Friday (1 April). Teachers who would ordinarily be delivering lessons to Year 7 classes will instead be available to cover for colleagues who are absent and have Year 8, 9, 10 or 11 lessons. Year 7 students should work from home using the Remote Access to the Curriculum document on our website. The link is here: https://www.priory.e-sussex.sch.uk/1406/remote-learning An updated version of this document will be available at 8am tomorrow (Thursday), and will allow Year 7 students to complete meaningful and appropriate work throughout the last two days of term (up to 12.30pm on Friday), according to their timetable. Students are also advised to check their Teams class sites for relevant materials and messages to groups. This is not a decision that we have taken lightly, but we are in an emergency situation and have are unable to secure enough supply staff to cover our needs. We do very much appreciate your tolerance, understanding and co-operation. Priory School
