AMONGST the gloom and despair of the last 12 months, there has been an emerging light that has transformed schools and ways of learning forever. It has got schools through the multiple lockdowns and ‘bubble’ closures during the pandemic and has enabled young people to continue to progress and keep in touch with their teachers and classmates.
From a standing start, the Gateway Learning Community has developed a state-of- the-art online offer that has been praised by parents and the government and stands head and shoulders above the provision made by many local schools. One typical comment from a Gateway parent said ‘I would like to say a massive well done to all the staff at Gateway. The learning and support has been amazing under the circumstances and you all have patience of saints in live lessons. I think the Gateway and all staff have worked really hard so a big thank you. When other parents are moaning about their schools I have been able to say can’t fault Gateway for the learning and updates. Keep up the good work and stay safe.’
