Remote education
During the Covid lockdown, academies within the Castleford Trust used online learning to ensure that pupils could continue with their curriculum via remote education. We used Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams to deliver lessons and resources. While pupils are expected to attend school in person, we are prepared to provide remote learning in the event of any significant or prolonged school closures.
