We will signpost parents/ carers, via text, email or letter, to the Class Pages on the school website where key information about the work set will be posted.  We will aim to quickly migrate to Google Classroom and provide daily learning opportunities using this platform.

We teach the same curriculum remotely as we do in school wherever possible and appropriate. However, we may need to make some adaptations in some subjects. For example, where the resources required may not be available at home.

The school has a limited number of laptops that we are able to loan to families if they do not have a device at home that allows them online access.

Parents must sign a loan agreement form to ensure the laptop is kept safe, and used only by the child and for the purposes of online learning.

The laptop, bag and charger must be returned to school in full working order when the school requests the equipment back.

If you do not have Wi-Fi connection at home, please contact the school office and we will be able to support you with this.

If a pupil requires printed material, please contact the school office to discuss this arrangement.  The school may be able to support you or your child in how to access the online materials.

• Live teaching (online lessons with their teacher via Google Classroom)
• Recorded teaching (e.g. Oak National Academy lessons, audio/video recordings made by teachers)
• Printed paper packs produced by teachers – depending on the age and needs of individual children
• Online reading books
• Activities provided on class pages on the school website
• Short-term project work and / or internet research activities.

• There is a set timetable with allocated face-to-face meeting slots with a teacher for every class every day.  If this varies due to staff absence or staff being unable to lead the online session we will try to let parents know beforehand.
• The school has published a video on how to access Google Classroom and the assigned work on the school website, for parents/ children to view

Children are expected to attend the daily face-to-face session with the teacher at the allocated time. 

If your child is late, it disrupts their learning and the learning for others, and they will miss part of the session.

• Follow the protocols set by the school for keeping your child safe online.
• Parents/ carers of younger children (Reception to Year 2) may need to sit with their child during the session to help the child maintain their focus.
• Parents should try to ensure children have a set place to do their remote learning where they can sit comfortably, away from distractions with appropriate light.

• Class teachers will provide more individualised work for children with SEND as required to ensure they are able to access the online learning in a way that meets their individual needs.  This support may be delivered by Teaching Assistants, including 1:1 support staff who normally work with key children at school.
• Class Teachers may provide extra materials, like practical resources and reading books, to support children with SEND who are working at home.
• External therapist have been informed of those children with an EHC Plan who are learning at home and will make contact with these families directly to provide support.
• The SENCO and other senior staff, will monitor provision for children with additional needs and work with staff to provide work which is appropriate for their needs.
• Parents should contact the school if they feel their child requires any other additional support with their learning.
