Remote Learning

What should my child expect from immediate remote education in the first day or two of pupils staying at home?

From the first day of the school being closed to pupils (during term time) learning will be shared via Seesaw.  This learning will be set by the class teacher and paper versions will be available from the school's main office if a child does not have access to a device or the internet at home.

Will my child be taught broadly the same curriculum as they would if they were in school?

Our remote learning offer provides the same curriculum offer for children at home as the children in school, with children having access to the same lessons and subjects on the same day.  The difference for the remote learning is that it provides flexibility at home, as requested by families, so the lessons can be done at a suitable time for the family.  The remote offer includes direct teaching time (replayable as often as children need) alongside time for individual work.  Remote learning is also differentiated and tailored to the needs of the children at home.  Additional support and programmes such as dyslexia programmes have also been delivered to homes, alongside face to face sessions for individual children.  All learning shared receives direct feedback from school staff on a daily basis, to motivate, assess and celebrate learning.  Paper packs of the daily tasks are available at school daily, should this be a preferred option (but parents and carers should be aware that using paper packs only would mean a child misses out on direct teaching from their year group team teacher).
