Unprecedented times always bring unforeseen challenges but with great challenge comes great opportunity, according to staff at Leehurst Swan School, Salisbury.
A statement said: “It has been quite a term, quite a year and for some, these last few days are likely to get quite emotional. As we draw close to our final few days of the Summer term, Leehurst Swan is delighted to have been able to have back all our pupils in Reception through to Year 10, for some ‘face-to-face’ contact, enabling them to catch up with friends and teachers, and we have seen this at Leehurst Swan School.
“It has been our pleasure to support the children of keyworkers with continuity of learning in school from day one of lockdown, enabling parents who are NHS frontline workers to focus on saving lives, safe in the knowledge their children are being educated and looked after for as long as is required.”
Lessons continued via remote learning with little disruption to the pupils’ timetable, as the school’s dedicated teaching staff ensured that the absence of school does not equate to an absence of high-quality and engaged learning.
“The school that prides itself on supporting children to ‘Find their Voice’, it is wonderful to have our hearts lifted by the sound of one-way corridors and socially-distanced classrooms filled once again with children’s chatter, laughter and energy, “ said Beverley Smith, Registrar and PA to the Headmaster.
