Welcome to Our Remote Learning Zone!
Thank you for exploring The Walsh Schools Remote Learning Zone! We hope you find it both helpful and user-friendly. We welcome your comments and feedback at school@walsh-junior.surrey.sch.uk or office@walsh-memorial.surrey.sch.uk
On this page, you will discover links and resources to remote learning providers designed to assist with your child’s education at home. We have curated a collection of games and lessons for each year group, along with booklets that outline the end-of-year expectations and include fantastic activities to support remote learning.
We love to see the progress of our students, so please share their work with us via Class Dojo. Each child has a unique portfolio accessible by their class teacher and the leadership team.
