To keep providing education and support children and their families, Hopelands Preparatory School is operating a virtual learning timetable which runs from 8.45am to 12.30pm every day.

The children attend the lessons, interact with their form teachers and receive their own work back marked and with feedback every day.

During the lockdown, this interaction with their teachers and their class friends is key for the pupils.

The school has had 100% attendance with the pupils through the virtual learning.

Children’s progress is consistently monitored so that any gaps can be quickly identified and worked on.

In the afternoon, several different activities have been suggested which the children can do either on their own or with their families.

The school's teachers spent the Easter holidays learning and testing new technology, planning lessons, and working out a new virtual timetable for their students.
