To assist with organising your work, we have created this home learning pack to
summarise instructions from each subject/class. Also attached is a grid that you
can complete and tailor to your needs by populating what is due and when, then
tick off as you go. From this week, we have decided to rotate subjects on a
weekly basis where half of your child’s subjects will set work in week 1 and the
other half will set work for week 2.
Kind Regards
Mr L Nicolson
Head Teacher, Brae High School
