Welcome to the Nelson Primary School Home Learning Hub! Here, you'll find a collection of free online resources to help you continue your learning at home. These have been organised by age and subject to make it easier for you to find what you need. Don't forget, you can also access our Curriculum Visions using the login details provided by your teacher, and Times Tables Rock Stars for practising your multiplication skills!

Our pupils in years 3-6 are allocated chromebooks to take home after signing a home-school loan agreement. These chromebooks have special software installed called Smoothwall, which ensures that reports and screen captures are sent to senior leaders if a child tries to access an unsafe website, or if they use inappropriate language or try to view inappropriate images. These Chromebooks mean that children can access the internet through Wi-Fi at home, and can complete independent work at home. Most classes have access to Google Classroom, where work can be set and viewed by their class teacher.
