At Home Learning Resources

We know it is a difficult time for all right now - that's why staff at Leys will continue to do all we can to support your child's learning, even at home.

There are many website links below to support your child's learning, however if you are looking for a FREE quick and easy, ready made, daily routine which covers many curriculum areas, follow this link to the Twinkl Home Learning Hub.

If you’re hunkered down with your family, trying to avoid the coronavirus, but trying to keep your children learning, we found a lot of educational online resources out there, some are pretty cool– and may just grab their attention more than a video game.
