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

Please click HERE to view our home learning plan 2021.

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. Please scroll down this page for Teams guidance for parents/carers.

As a school, we are encouraging pupils to use IXL to complete their age appropriate Maths and English tasks. 

• 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.
