We have put together an online learning zone to help you and your family learn from home during the Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic.

In the event of a Bubble closure or whole school closure, children have been issued with their Microsoft Teams login. Please keep this safe and await further information. www.teams.microsoft.com 

As a school, we are encouraging pupils to use IXL to complete their age appropriate Maths and English tasks. They can also use PurpleMash, Oak Academy and White Rose Maths (links below). 

• Log in to Purple Mash, here - https://www.purplemash.com/sch/thegood-nn2 .
• Login to IXL, here - www.ixl.com/signin/olicatschools.

Children can also practice their times tables via TT Rockstars, this is something they have been using at school and should also have a log in for this. Log in here - https://ttrockstars.com/.

If you do not have a login for the above learning platforms, please contact the school office at admin@thegoodshepherd.northants.sch.uk.

Below are some useful links to external websites that are also offering fantastic resources during this time.
