What the pupil area does:
Our pupil area lets teachers provide online homework for your child which can be completed and sent back to their teacher so it can be marked and your child can receive feedback, just as they would in the classroom. This is sometimes called a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
It also lets your child ask their teacher, and the other pupils in class, questions about their work and to share tips, ideas and suggestions.
Teachers will provide interactive teaching materials to go with the homework they set which will help your child understand what to do and make it feel more like they are working with their teacher.
How is the pupil area different to the home learning resources pages?
The pupil area is a more interactive version of the home learning resources pages. The resources are the same but there is extra help and support provided so it feels more like your child is working with their teacher.
