We have put together a list of suggested websites, apps and online resources that may be of use to schools and families during this difficult time.
So after 7 online Meets, 38 teams and 2 quizmasters (and a cat called Boo!) we have our Super Quiz Hero!!!! Congratulations to both St Joseph’s Captain Marvel bubble and Lord Blyton Team Storm who both scored 25 out of 25. It went to the tie breaker question – which was how long was the 2019 Tour de France. The correct distance was 3365.8km and the nearest team was, drum roll …… Lord Blyton, Team Storm!
Thank you to everyone taking part, we had loads of fun and hope you did too. Stay Safe!

Communicating with parents
We know schools are doing all they can to reassure parents of the safety measures which are in place to welcome eligible children back to school and college this term.
To support schools with this, as part of the Government’s central “Stay Alert” campaign, you are likely to see information adverts on these measures on the radio and online to reassure parents that if their child is eligible to attend school, they should return before the summer break. These messages will sit alongside wider government messaging about public transport and returning to work, which aim to reassure the public as changes to lockdown measures are made.
The leaflets and films below are for parents of children in primary and secondary. You may want to share these with your parent network to support your engagement with children and families who have questions.
The leaflets can be found here:
