Remote learning

This information is intended to provide clarity to children and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education if local or national restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home.

We will continue to use Class Dojo to support learning. As a school we will continue to use this platform for homework and other activities throughout the year to ensure children and parents are confident with the use of these in the event that we need to close a bubble, cohort or majority of the school.

We will use a combination of the following approaches to teach children remotely:

Provide live support sessions throughout the day.
Provide follow up learning tasks through Dojo.
Share video content via our school YouTube account.
Use other resources to support explanations such as Power Maths videos.
Share useful websites and other resources that may support parents and children at home, such as Oak National Academy.
Set learning tasks so that children have meaningful and ambitious work each day in a number of different subjects.
Plan a programme that is of equivalent length to the core teaching children would receive in school.

For feedback, we may use Google Forms to create quizzes that are marked automatically, questioning during live support sessions as well as give feedback to learning uploaded to Dojo. We will apply the principles of our school based Feedback policy to all learning to ensure that the children continue to make links between remote learning and school base learning.

We recognise that some children, for example some children with 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 children in the follow ways:

Support staff will continue to provide intervention materials for children through Dojo.
Where children have a specific plan, we will endeavor to provide these in a virtual environment.
Children with EHCPs should be in school wherever it is safe to do so and we will endeavor to provide the support outlined on their plan.
Where children with EHCPs are learning from home, we will upload interventions through Dojo.
We will provide further support and interventions through our SEND area on the school website and signpost families to these for further support for areas such as SEMH (Social Emotional and Mental Health) needs.
Parents may also request contact from the SENDCo to seek advice and support where needed- please contact the school office.

We recognise that some children may not have suitable online access at home. We take the following approaches to support those children to access remote education:

We have a number of devices that we can loan to parents during this time. Should you need a device, please contact the school office.
Should parents want a printed learning pack, please contact the school office who will work with teachers to arrange for a pack of learning to be created- the school office will support the delivery/ collection of this. Each week parents should return the completed pack to the school office and collect the following week’s pack.
Each class has an email account where parents can send screen shots or photographs of a child’s learning if they wish.
