Thomas Gainsborough School Covid Budget 2021

The closure of schools due to Covid will have affected different students in different ways. Some will have gaps in their knowledge, others will have made some gains in theirs. We will work with students to identify need and address it as required.

We will provide the means for students to work independently according to their particular needs as well as addressing those needs in class. The best thing we can do for our students going forwards is to continue to provide all with quality first teaching. We will initiate a coaching scheme to help ensure more excellent teaching across the school.

We believe that one of the impacts of the closures has been a significant reduction is time spent working alongside other students and adults, collaborating, communicating and socialising. We will review our extra -curriculum offer to seek to provide greater opportunities for that kind of work to take place.
