Home Learning

From Friday 20th March Mayfield CE Primary will be closed to all but key workers children.

During the coming weeks we will endeavour to support your children's learning by providing you with activities to complete at home. We will be regularly updating our class pages so please continue to check back and keep up to date.

Activities will be set on Purple Mash, logins have been sent home. If you need further support please contact the school office.

On Purple Mash there is also a blog on which we can all communicate together. Please use this to support each other if you have any difficulties and I will try to help when I can.

Purple Mash activities: *Please note that you may have some difficulty connecting to Purple Mash at peak times due to the unusually high volume of users.
