Recovery Curriculum

In March 2020 schools closed to the majority of pupils due to a full Lockdown in response to the COVID 19 Pandemic.

School opened to all pupils in September 2020.

Once again schools closed to most pupils in January 2021 due to a further Lockdown.

The staff of St Michael’s responded to this by adapting our curriculum to enable us to address gaps in knowledge and to support the pupils wellbeing as a priority.
