Like many families we are now home schooling our children. This is because of the current outbreak of Covid-19 in the UK. What we have found is the online world has really stepped unto the plate when it comes to providing online resources. However like a lot of parents it’s hard to know what’s out there. So the idea of this blog post is to share a current list of resources available. We will try and keep this as up-to date as possible.
