RESOURCES FOR LEARNING AT HOME OR IN SCHOOL

Whilst most of us are learning and working at home, we’ve found some resources that we think (and hope) might be useful to you. We’ve even made some of them ourselves! We’ll also be adding new resources as we find/make them, so please check back again.


Resources for Religious Education

Resources for Reflection and 'Assemblies'

Resources to Help with Mental Health and Wellbeing

Resources for BSCWT's Primary Schools Lunchtime Clubs


If any of them are helpful to you, please let us know via our ‘Contact Us’ page.  We hope we’ll see you safe and well in school again before too long!
