School will reopen from Monday 8th March. There will be a phased return of students to allow for Lateral Flow Testing to take place. Please see information below.
Whilst the school is closed we expect pupils to be working at home. Work to do at home for various subjects can be found here or on the go4Schools homework page.
Teachers can be contacted via email should you have any queries. They can be reached by their initial and then their surname, followed by @dormston.dudley.sch.uk
Example: Mr Joe Bloggs jbloggs@dormston.dudley.sch.uk
Please have a look through the Powerpoints which will help you to guide self study.
Information on how to reset your Go4schools password can be found here.
Reading Lists can be found here for KS3 and KS4 students. An additional suggested reading list can be found here.
We appreciate that not all parents will be able to support their child with their learning at home as much as they would like to but teachers are available on email to answer questions. For those parents that want to work with their child we will share some strategies with you in the coming weeks.
One thing all parents can do straight away, in addition to making sure that Knowledge Organisers are being looked at and work on GO4Schools is being completed, is to encourage your child to simply read for an hour a day. We have just updated our Reading Lists on our Website under Parents > Reading Lists.
Many students have been sent to the PLC today to collect books but there is an on-line reading list on the website so they can read on their phone or a PC. All studies show that reading regularly improves outcomes in subjects as wide as Science and Maths.
