We recognise that the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent periods of lockdown will have affected students in many different ways. The best way for us to help students to recover is to offer them good quality teaching consistently and to work with parents to ensure they are in school and ready to learn.

• High quality pastoral support is an important part of our strategy. The need for additional support, particularly relating to wellbeing and mental health has increased.
• There were some subjects which it was more difficult for students to engage with due to the nature of the teaching involved, and Maths is an area that we have identified as a potential area of difficulty for some students.
• Some students need additional support with reading, literacy and handwriting.
