When Sibford School had to close its school buildings, the Sibford resilience that we so often talk about and aim to instil in our pupils, shone through like never before.
Back in June, parent and freelance writer Caroline Mills, visited Sibford to learn more about how we navigated virtual learning during lockdown, and reopened the school safely and successfully.

Sibford School received continued support and countless messages of gratitude from parents and guardians, praising the efforts that all staff put into virtual learning.
Hearing from parents at other schools, I am so proud of you Sibford. Everyone is doing an amazing job. It can't be easy trying to look after your own families whilst looking after our child's educational needs, and more. I feel my child is getting the best continued education and pastoral care possible during these trying times. The amount of work is spot on and the human interaction my child is experiencing being able to speak to classmates and teachers with daily video calls for all lessons is perfect. Well done everyone at Sibford. Outstanding!
Throughout the lockdown I have consistently felt that the school has gone above and beyond expectations in terms of work provision, feedback and support for the children. I sing your praises to anyone who will listen! We feel so happy that our children have been so well looked after and I as the parent providing the support at home ALSO feel like you've got my back too. Testament to this is two children who are enjoying their home learning and feeling safe and are mentally healthy too.
We would like to express our thanks about how well we think Sibford School has operated during lockdown. Pastoral care has been impressive and "live" classes brought much needed structure to our son's day. We have felt that he has been in very safe, well prepared and caring hands under your positive and visible leadership. Compared to different friends' schools the service from Sibford has really stood out.
