Home Learning
Great Ouse staff and parents or carers must continue to work in partnership as co-educators to ensure your child thrives academically and pastorally. We would like to draw your attention to the importance of “supporting my child’s learning at home, including overseeing any homework or extension tasks” and “develop effective two-way communication with my child’s class teacher” as two fundamental parts of this process in the pursuit of excellence for your child.
We clearly understand that this is evident across many of our families, however, we are also aware there is always more we can all do to enhance your child’s learning experience, attainment and progress during this partnership as co-educators.

GOPA Remote Education Provision
As you will know, our firefighters visit all year 2 groups in the local area each year, but sadly this year we had to cancel all those scheduled from the middle of March onwards. We will be back as soon as we can, but in the meantime, Kempston White Watch have made something especially for you! We hope that whether your children are still in school or learning at home, they will find our 9 minute fire safety education video a helpful a fun and helpful resource. A huge thank you to everyone involved in maintaining education and care for the children of key workers, and of course to all the parents doing their very best at home.
