Independent learning – e-learning resources by Department

Dear Parents,

In order to promote and support independent learning, many of our departments use Moodle which is an open source platform or they have bought into other subscription websites such as MyMaths for Maths or Kerboodle for Science. The following table provides details of which e-learning platforms departments are using to share relevant resources. These are available to students and should support them in their learning in a private and controlled environment. We are continually working to improve this.

All students have been provided with log in details for these e-learning platforms. If your child has misplaced or forgotten their log in details, then please urge them to speak to their subject teacher or the relevant head of department.
