Aims
Remote learning is provided for children who are not able to attend school for an extended period of time for reasons of health, personal circumstance discussed and agreed with the Headteacher or due to a national pandemic situation.
Our remote learning provision aims to ensure that:
Google Classroom
In most situations, remote learning is communicated and managed via Google Classroom.
During normal operation Google Classroom is used to communicate homework tasks and some pupil reminders. This ensures that pupils are thoroughly familiar with the platform if it needs to be used at short notice.
If remote learning is required for whole classes or the school, we will use Google Classroom.
This will allow staff to keep in contact in a professional and confidential manner with their class. Teachers will be able to schedule learning in a manner that does not overwhelm our children. Teaching and learning can be tailored, changed and updated as time progresses, allowing for replication of classroom activity to the best of our ability.
It must be noted that the work children engage in during a period of closure will be part of our current planning and so cannot be considered as optional. Children and parents should consider the arrangements as set out in this document as highly recommended.
Flexibility of Learning
In our planning and expectations, we are aware of the need for flexibility from all sides:-
An understanding of, and willingness to adapt to, these difficulties on all sides is essential for
success.
