In 2020 we have been hit with a situation none of us could ever have prepared for. Some of us find ourselves in a perilous situation - we are at risk - but can not put our lives on hold. At Buckingham Academy we understand that in times like these we need to find ways in which to stay safe but still reach the goals and higher than what we could have ever thought possible.

​

We aim to enrich and guide our online learners - to help the create a good work ethic and gain an education to rival the best. We work together with the learners, parents and teachers to help achieve this goal. We utilise different platforms including; Google Classroom, Zoom, WhatsApp and others to aid and reach each learner in their homes to provide the best support possible. Using interactive activities and online interactive lessons allows for one-on-one communication between learners and the teachers. We have continually manned WhatsApp groups that allow the learners to ask questions if they are confused and get assistance when needed. We perform formative and summative assessments of our course, our teaching as well as of the learners' progress to make sure that we go from strength to strength.  With us- no learner struggles alone. We structure individual intervention when required -  as well as extension- so no learner is bored or stunted - all are encouraged to challenge themselves and see just how far they can reach. 

​

I am so excited to have been given the opportunity to head this side of the education at Buckingham Academy. I look forward to ensuring that our online children are set to rival the best out there- irrespective of the avenue or school they have chosen. Below is a taste of things to come, I am open to ideas and suggestions - which can easily be sent to me by clicking on the , 'Please help' button below.

Are we ready to astound the world? Let's do it! 

I'm here for you
