Remote Learning

As a school we need to be ready for any eventuality so that learning can always continue no matter what happens.

If your child is off from school for a short period because they are unwell, they will not be set any work.

If they are off longer term and are well enough to work or if the school, class or phase needs to close for another reason, please check Google Classroom. Your child’s class teacher will leave a message for you pointing towards online work, Oak National Academy (directing you to the units compatible to what is being taught in class), or a combination of lessons and of course live lessons via zoom.

For the Oak Academy:

Once on the website, the instructions are very clear but for your information you need to go to:

• Subjects
• Key stage
• Click on the subject your child’s class teacher has asked them to do, e.g. Geography
• Click on the topic your child’s class teacher has asked them to do, e.g. Oceans and Seas

Occasionally your child’s class teacher may find something more suitable on a different website such as the BBC but they will make this clear on the Google Classroom account.

Your child’s class teacher will also look for opportunities to bring your child into the classroom for live lessons via Zoom or Google Meet whenever possible so that they maintain contact with their peers. The important thing is that your child’s teacher will try very hard to match the work at home with the work in school.

Teachers will always be available via email to answer any questions you may have.

Together we can always keep the learning going and the friendship and support strong!
