Google Classrooms
We are very pleased to be returning to the studio again this term and hope that is where we will stay! However should anything change and restrictions be implemented during the term (or we get snowed in!) don’t forget our Google Classrooms are the quickest point of reference to access online classes. They are also the place to find pre-recorded classes to do at home should you have to isolate, and we will be adding more of these during the term. If you have not already joined our Google Classrooms please follow the instructions by clicking on the link below...
