Providing Remote Education: Important information to parents

New River College remains open to all pupils throughout any lockdown. The school greatly encourages you to send your child to school. However, if pupils need to self-isolate then remote education is provided from day 1. This information is for pupils and
parents/carers about what to expect from remote education.

If you need help accessing IT, are not sure about how your child can log on or have any concerns or worries about remote learning or any other issues which affect your child please call the Head of centre and they will find ways to help you.

Worries about your child’s mental health during the Christmas break?

At NRC we work closely with the CAMHS in PRU team and you may have already met the CAMHS worker linked to the PRU site your child attends.

The Christmas break can be a challenging time for children and families, and stresses can build up and lead to concerns about how a child may be coping with their feelings. If you want to speak to a CAMHS worker during the break, the CAMHS in PRU team are available. Below are details of who to contact on each day, and how to get in touch.
