We love learning at Beedon and will do our very best to ensure that our children are able to stay connected with their teachers and class as well as be able to access learning if they have to self-isolate at home because of COVID-19 restrictions.
Every member of staff, pupil and parent/carer has been sent an invite to our Class Dojo where lessons and resources will be shared. Our guide to how we will use Class Dojo at our school can be found on our policies tab and has also been shared with our school family.
