Year 3 / 4 Home Learning

We are committed to ensuring that your child is still learning as much as possible and endeavour to do our absolute best to keep this happening. We will be in communication with you via this page, parent mail and purple mash as much as possible.  If you need to contact any of the team about your child’s learning please email us – lowerschool@northolmesjunior.school
