SCHOOL CLOSURE TASKS
Now that school is closed to pupils KGS will be supplying pupils with work that they can do at home.
The timetable below is a suggested framework to organise the week but pupils can access subjects in any order they wish. It is a guide to help motivate pupils to access learning materials throughout the day.
By selecting a subject you will get access to any resources and instructions that you require.
We hope that by following this programme pupils can have a balanced week and not try to do everything at once.
