February 2021

 

As instructed by the Local Authority, Pontypridd High School are providing learning online for all pupils (apart from the most vulnerable and keyworker children in years 7 and 8).

 

Children who are working from home should follow the timetable below. Each day pupils should log into their class charts account to access the instructions and resources needed to complete the tasks for the day. Staff will be available to support pupils using digital platforms/email/phone call as appropriate throughout the week.

 

The learning provided will be a balance of live and recorded lessons. This gives pupils the opportunity to access learning at the most convenient time, allowing flexibility to work around the circumstances at home. When pupils are added to ‘live lessons’ these will take place sometime during the time frames outlined on the timetable below. Before taking part in live lessons pupils and parents/carers should familiarise themselves with the guidelines available on our website.
