We follow non-statutory guidance from the Department for Education on providing high quality remote education in cases where it is not possible, or is contrary to government guidance, for some or all children to attend school.

This information for parents is a summary of the provision that the school is making for remote learning. Where parents need more detailed information or if they would like to discuss remote learning with the school, they are encouraged to contact Mrs Grimster using the school’s usual procedures.

Circumstances where it might not be possible for pupils to receive in person education fit into 2 broad categories:

• school closures or restrictions on attendance, where school access for pupils is restricted

• individual cases where a pupil is unable to attend school but is able to learn

Teaching and Learning:

The school will make its best endeavours to use a wide range of strategies for teaching and learning. These strategies will be designed to be appropriate for children’s ages, abilities and aptitudes and may include all or a combination of:

- teaching (online lessons), eg Oak National Academy Lessons

- recommended, appropriate safe websites

- home learning ideas/activities

Teachers will respond to work sent through via Tapestry for F1 and F2 and a designated class email will be stablishd for Year 1 and Year 2.

Accessing remote education

All classes will have their own class email account which will be given out to parents, to support feedback and communication.  Work and information will be sent out via ESchools message service and on the website class page. 

The internet will be used safely by the school to maintain contact with children and parents to provide support for teaching and learning. The school policies for safeguarding, E-safety and data protection will be applied at all times. School staff will continue to be available to offer help and advice to parents who request support with the provision of learning at home.
