Travel over to the Channel Island of Guernsey for a look around a Microsoft Showcase School

Living and teaching on an island may sound rather romantic, but the practical side of managing a chemistry department in a far-flung school can present its challenges. Here, head of science Karen Marshall and colleague Faye Barclay open up their teaching spaces at The Ladies’ College on Guernsey for fellow teachers to take a look inside, and talk us through everyday life at their school. They also share about the benefits of being a Microsoft Showcase School and a ClassVR Pioneer School, as well as how they have cleverly managed Covid-related challenges in the classroom.
