Remote education provision: information for parents
|
Each Class Page on our website contains a section entitled "Home Learning". Class teachers will populate this with appropriate daily lessons and activities, following on from what has just been taught in school.
|
|
The simple answer is "yes." The Home Learning section of Class Pages are added to each day by the class teacher. Although this cannot be an exact duplication of what has been covered in class, it will be as close as possible to the content the rest of the class has received. There will be an emphasis on the core subjects.

Remote teaching and study time each day
We expect that remote education (including remote teaching and independent work) will take pupils broadly the following number of hours each day:
| Foundation Stage | Up to 3 hours |
|
Key Stage 1 |
3 hours (on average) |
|
Key Stage 2 |
4 hours (on average) |
|
To keep things as simple as possible, most of our content is share on our school website, on Class Pages. All you should need is an internet connection and browser. |
We recognise that some pupils may not have suitable online access at home. Please contact school if you ever need support in accessing our remote resources.
We use a combination of the following approaches to teach pupils remotely:
|
|
All pupils should be engaging with their Class Pages each week day. They should watch the dated videos and work through the dated lesson activities. This may often require a little support from parents, although we have tried to minimise the input required.
Not all activities are screen-based. |
|
Teachers will monitor the children's engagement with the lessons. We expect regular emails from parents, sharing some of the work completed. We also expect the children to join in with weekly secure Zoom sessions. Any questions or issues will be follow-up by staff. |
Feedback can take many forms and may not always mean extensive written comments for individual children. For example, whole-class feedback or quizzes are valid and effective methods, amongst many others. Our approach to feeding back on pupil work is via email and Zoom sessions.
We recognise that some pupils, for example some pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), may not be able to access remote education without support from adults at home. We acknowledge the difficulties this may place on families, and we will work with parents and carers to support those pupils. Please contact your child's class teacher or Miss Orr, our SENDCo, for further support.
Where individual pupils need to self-isolate but the majority of their peer group remains in school, the activities on Class Pages will be updated as regularly as possible, as above.
|
We will always aim to teach each of our pupils as best we can, as our capacity allows. Our Class Pages will be updated daily, with appropriate activities. |
