BEDALE HIGH SCHOOL
Bedale High School - Community is everything Headteacher Tom Kelly was very keen to keep the local school community at the heart of everything during the latest closure. “Our families have been amazing throughout this time,” he explains. “Their resilience and commitment make it even more important for us to support them however we can.” Following the previous closure, the school undertook a review of the remote-learning provision and has swiftly applied the lessons learned. Students have been able to access a varied diet of on-screen and off-screen learning. Deputy Headteacher Matt Gill states: “We wanted to ensure that our students would be as engaged as much as possible with their learning at home. We are delivering a variety of learning methods including live lessons, recorded presentations, video tutorials, project work and other activities…the staff have been amazing.”
THIS year has been unlike any other, with the Covid-19 pandemic causing unprecedented disruption to every sphere of life. But among the pain and hardship, there have also been inspirational stories as communities pulled together to help each other through these hardest of times. The Salt of the Earth features, published by the D&S Times in partnership with North Yorkshire County Council, have shone the spotlight on the often unsung heroes who have gone out of their way to help others – not just through the pandemic, but before and beyond it. Here, we look back on 12-months of good deeds and celebrate the people and groups who have given their time so selflessly to make a real difference to other people’s lives.
