Remote Education
We have created our Remote Learning page to support parents/carers to access appropriate learning activities from home, in the event of families self-isolating or having to go into quarantine.
It is intended to support the learning in class and suggested work will be uploaded for each year group on a weekly basis. In the event of a year group bubble being closed and pupils being sent home, remote learning resources, pre-recorded lessons, learning timetables will be accessible. This will ensure that children are given the opportunity to continue learning remotely, at home.
Children in Reception will access remote learning through DB Learning via the school website. Children in Years 1 to 6 will use Google Classroom.
Google Classroom
Pupils in Years 1 to 6 should now access their home learning in Google Classroom – a digital learning platform created by Google. In the event of a year group bubble being closed and pupils being sent home, remote learning resources, pre-recorded videos learning timetables will also be accessible through Google Classroom. This will ensure that children are given the opportunity to continue learning remotely, at home. All learning will be set by school staff through the platform and pupils can complete their learning and submit it online. We understand that parents and carers may be concerned about the amount of screen time children are being exposed to already. Assignments can be completed on paper and then a photo of the learning can be submitted on Google Classroom. For tips on how to manage screen time, tap here.
If you require further support, please contact your child’s class teacher in the first instance.
