At Kings Furlong Junior School, we believe that home learning should be enjoyable and manageable for all concerned, so we have developed the below booklet to provide an outline of expectations and links to appropriate resources.

General home learning websites and resources

Please find below a list of some of the websites offering free or trial periods of their resources. They have been broken down into different subjects, but often websites do in fact cover the whole curriculum. None of these websites require payment to access, so some of the obvious platforms haven't been included. Some do require you to log in or create a free account to access.
