During a full or partial school closure, we will provide remote education that is of equivalent length to the core teaching pupils would receive in school.    

Students who are well enough are expected to fully participate in and complete all aspects of the work provided.

Children of critical workers and vulnerable children will be able to access provision in accordance with government guidelines during times of local restrictions or national lockdown.  The exception to this is during times of a student needing to self-isolate when they will need to remain at home.

Remote Learning Work Expectations

Self –Isolation:

Students who are self-isolating whilst the rest of the school continues to operate as normal will be provided with work to complete.  This may be work set on Teams or packs of work may be sent home.

Full or Partial School Closure:

Work will be made available each day on Microsoft Teams “Assignments”.  Students will receive a range of lessons which will include recorded lessons and may include live, direct teaching.  Some lessons give the opportunity for students to complete tasks and assignments independently.  Many of the recorded lessons are produced by our teachers but others include learning materials produced by Oak Academy, BBC Teach or similar.
