BSU has been set up so the children’s learning is not interrupted. However, in order to ensure the maximum benefit through BSU, children are encouraged to take the task completion seriously. This will also help them to become responsible for their learning, leading to coverage of the syllabus simultaneously. If the child is unwell please note that late submission is acceptable.

You can collect evidence of learning by recording a video of your child. The video should not be more than one minute long. It can also be in the form of photographs, pieces of written work uploaded, etc.
