The New Digital World of Education

    20 March 2020

The New Digital World of Education

As we approach a very uncertain and different future, I would very much like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your fabulous support.  It’s always incredible how communities come together during difficult times and this period is no different.  We are entering a new virtual world with social distancing paramount in importance and so developing innovative ways of communicating and supporting each other is crucial.

Interestingly, education forms such an important central feature of our lives that removing this creates huge uncertainty and potential anxiety.  Retaining structure, stability and familiarity for children in a very worrying and strange time will provide children with some certainty and a focus.  Without this structure and support, there will be a very isolated existence for a potentially extended period of time.

I would also like to thank you for your time today during our video calls.  We very much wish to continue with open and transparent communication and will endeavour to provide the best possible education for the future.  If you do have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

So, my final message really is to wish you the very best of health and good fortune for the future.  I very much look forward to the next time we will be able to meet face to face and shake hands!  I’m sure by that time, our children will have grasped the opportunities available to them and will have excelled in a new digital world of education.
