The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge... it's happening!
We're incredibly grateful to the amazing team at

for organising this incredible initiative!
A group of over 15 staff members have volunteered to tackle the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge this summer in support of
Teachers/staff are worried. They donโt have protective masks etc. so if you, your child, or others in your house are ill, stay at home, isolate, follow medical advice. Don't under any circumstances send a child to school unless you are a key worker and it's absolutely necessary!
As we start the weekend in a time of unprecedented change we can't helpbut reflect on everything our colleagues have achieved this week.
We are beyond proud of the resilience, compassion and care our colleagues have shown our communities right to the end of today.
#lostforwords
We know its going to be a difficult day for our children, young adults, parents, carers and staff tomorrow however we are confident that our colleagues will do their best to provide 'business as usual' for the whole day! Lets give our children/young adults the day they deserve!
Morning All,
We know you will have lots of questions after The Prime Minister's update last night and we assure you that once we have further guidance from the Government and we have had time to see how this can be practically implemented in our schools, we will update you.
We are humbled at the outpouring of support we are receiving and simply overwhelmed by the commitment our staff have to our community during this difficult time. We are truly honored to be working with such amazing, passionate, caring, resilient staff.
Thank you Delta Family
An amazing 96% of our students accessed online learning last week! Our children and young adults are quickly adapting to a new way of learning and we couldn't be prouder of how hard they are all working. Well done everyone. Keep it up! ๐๐๐
We are absolutely overwhelmed at the standard of engagement with learning we are witnessing across the Trust right now! So many of our children and young adults are logged on, attending virtual classes, joining in and helping each other learn. Thanks to everyone!

As we come to the end of a very different week in our schools, we would just like to take a moment to say thank you; not just to our colleagues throughout the Trust but to our extended education family across the country. We appreciate everything you have done and continue to do.
As our schools break for summer we would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all those who have supported us during this challenging time; to our colleagues, partners, children and young adults, parents and local communities we simply can't thank you enough.
What a wonderful last day of term; despite the circumstances, there's been some real Christmas Spirit shown across the Trust. We're always proud of our children, students, colleagues and communities but this year we are extra proud! We hope you all have a safe and happy Xmas.
Following the Prime Minister's announcement this evening, our schools will be closed to all students but children of critical workers/vulnerable. Students will have access to virtual learning and further info will be communicated locally.
Thank you for your continued support.
Welcome back after half term! We hope you had a restful break and are ready to get stuck into learning! We have listened to The Prime Ministers announcement today and are working hard to plan the safe return of all pupils. Plans will be communicated when finalised.
#deltafamily
We are so proud of all of our 2020 GCSE cohort who have had a year like no other we've witnessed. Don't forget that whatever the result, we are here to support you. Congratulations and good luck for the future, whatever your plans.

Thank you all for working with us to follow government guidelines and please continue to
#StayHomeSaveLives
We are in the process of working with professionals to bring our communities the most up to date advice and guidance.
We appreciate that this is a challenging time for us all and will provide more detailed information as soon as we can.
When the guidance changed to allow us to see all of our secondary pupils once before the summer break, we set to work on creating some summer workbooks. With only two weeks notice we think we managed to produce some fantastic resources. See what you think:
A HUGE thank you to all our parents / carers for being so supportive of our schools so far, particularly those with primary age children where schools are starting to re-open to specific year groups; it's so much easier for us to care for your children when we have your support.
Our colleagues are working hard to make sure that those students who don't have access to devices receive the support they need quickly. So far our ICT team have set up and dispatched over 4,000 devices to our schools with another 2,000+ on their way imminently!

Happy half term everyone. This one has been more challenging than most but we've finally made it through with a few minor bumps and bruises.
