E-Learning

In September 2020, all our classes returned to full-time education following the Covid 19 closure in March. Although we hope that the majority of our children will now have an uninterrupted experience, there is the possibility that an individual child, a class bubble, or indeed the whole school, will need to self-isolate for a period of time. We have therefore put in place a plan for remote  so that all children can continue with their education. The main difference between this new offer and previous remote learning is that it will include more of the features of effective teaching – instructional content and assessment that introduces, builds and develops new concepts and skills will be key.
This meets the expectations set out in the DfE guidance ‘Remote Education Support’
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/remote-education-during-coronavirus-covid-19

If a child does not have access to a computer/laptop and/or the internet, the school will do all it can to support children and will provide paper packs of learning. Where funding can be accessed, remote devices (eg, laptops) and/or 4G connections will be sought, particularly for disadvantaged children. Parents will be reminded to make the school aware of any barriers to accessing remote learning. You will find here an overview of lessons to be completed each day. It will provide learning across the curriculum and children will be expected to spend a similar amount of time completing this as they would spend learning in school.
