With UK schools closed once again, Fyling Hall School will continue to offer a high quality education through virtual learning. Building on the infrastructure we put in place when the UK Government closed schools in March 2020, our plan is to teach to the pupils’ timetable that is in the front if their school planner. Mr Allen, Headmaster, added
Whilst it is not ideal to be out of school for the whole half term I am confident we will be able to provide a very interactive experience to ensure your child continues with their education. It is important we work closely together and so we will make sure you as parents have weekly contact with your child’s form Tutor to monitor progress.
When we get further information about the format of assessment for the exam classes I will share this with you. It is crucial the exam classes engage with the online learning because inevitably there to be some form of assessment later in the year.
