School closures<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"\"Bad weather and other unexpected events may result in school closures, causing some disruption to educational provision.<\/p>\n

North Lanarkshire Council’s website<\/a> will advise which schools are closed. You can register with them for updates and follow their X and Facebook feeds.<\/p>\n

However, pupils can still keep up with their learning at home.<\/p>\n

Homework<\/strong><\/h5>\n

If we have a warning of poor weather, then teachers may provide pupils with some work whilst still at school. Even if pupils haven\u2019t been given homework, they can carry out their own research, revise notes, read over work, learn vocabulary or key words, and read quality newspapers or other appropriate reading material.<\/p>\n

If pupils have access to a computer or tablet with internet access at home, then there are many websites with resources and activities which can support learning.\u00a0 Some are general in nature; however, many are tailored to the curriculum offered in school. Check out our useful links page<\/a> for more ideas.<\/p>\n

Glow<\/h5>\n

All pupils will have a GLOW log-in and password and will be able to access resources on GLOW<\/a>. Pupils should make sure they know their log-in details and can ask Mr Clarke\u00a0if they\u2019ve forgotten.<\/p>\n

BBC Bitesize<\/h5>\n

The BBC Bitesize site<\/a> has some great resources for primary and secondary.<\/p>\n

Scholar<\/h5>\n

Many National 4, 5, Higher and Advanced Higher courses are also supported through the Scholar<\/a> program.\u00a0You can read more about Scholar by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SQA<\/h5>\n

The Scottish Qualifications Authority<\/a> website has a range of information and resources to help, including Past Papers, Study Guides and Exam Tools.<\/p>\n

NPFS<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The National Parent Forum Scotland<\/a> website has information for learners, including revision guides.<\/p>\n
