"School starts at our kitchen table at 8.40 each morning. The teachers have adapted their teaching and in some instances, the timing of the element of the curriculum taught, to fit the way home learning best works. I can hear enthusiasm, (lots of) patience, praise and professionalism from teachers throughout the day. In addition, I have received excellent support through Pastoral teaching and 'The Link' staff, which has ensured our SEND plan is appropriate and functioning. This process is still following the usual yearly timetable! Then, unbelievably, there is also a Wednesday chess club, a weekly session/group lesson from the Autism peripatetic support and a guitar lesson, live online each Friday. Thank you for this excellent undertakingand your hard work."

"I have only praise for the provision offered by Tanfield School."

"I would like to say thank you for the excellent provision you are currently providing online, my daughter is actually doing better than she would in school as there are no other distractions."

"Excellent, head of year checks in all the time with me."
