National Home Learning Support Helpline for Parents27 April 2020 (by admin) |
Dear Parent/Carers,
The below national helpline information has been placed on our website, in the CURRICULUM tab - ADDITIONAL RESOURCES.
A national parent helpline has been set up, known as StarLine, and backed by the new virtual Oak Academy, as well as Star Academies, the Confederation of School Trusts, Triple P UK and a number of academy trusts. It is also staffed by Ofsted inspectors who have been redeployed alongside teachers to provide advice about home learning to parents. The helpline is designed to help parents and carers create regular routines and study habits, offering practical steps to take and access to resources, such as support with a specific topic or advice on how to structure the day, deal with difficult behaviour or manage the learning of several children.
StarLine is open six days a week and covers all areas of the curriculum across all phases of education. The number to call is 0330 313 9162 (calls charged at local rate).
I hope some of you find this StarLine helpful. Of course, it goes without saying that our staff is always here to help as well.
Many thanks,
Mr Bateman
Headteacher
