It is important that we try to continue delivering high-quality education during periods of remote learning. Alongside uploading resources and lesson packs, setting quizzes, tasks, project work and assignments on a regular basis is essential to ensure that students attempt to engage with the work we provide. Learning from home can only truly be effective if students complete tasks and receive feedback from their teachers on assignments that they submit.

Along with the above and in line with our current assessment, feedback and marking policy, staff will aim to set, assess and feedback on unit tasks during this current school closure via MS Teams.

If you have any difficulties logging in, or handing in work via this platform, please contact a member of our IT support team via our school office: ecsgeneral@enfieldcs.enfield.sch.uk.
