The information below is intended to provide clarity and transparency to our families about what to expect from us in relation to remote education should restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home, or if individual children are self-isolating (see last section).
The information is organised by the key questions that families may have regarding our online learning offer:
If a sudden closure is needed, what will the first one or two days look like for us as a family? A pupil’s first day or two of being educated remotely might look different from our standard approach, while we take all necessary actions to prepare for a longer period of remote teaching. As such, in the first day or two of a longer period of closure we will:

Thank you for all the school’s continued support and encouragement over this academic year both in terms of the children, and the parents! I wanted to say how much myself, and my husband have been impressed by the remote learning that has been delivered each week by the school. I can only begin to imagine how much work has gone into this and the challenges of delivering and providing work, both virtually and within the classroom. I know this will all have been a huge undertaking from everyone. I have been so impressed by the level of support the children at home and school have been offered, and the content of the learning resources. It has more than helped to keep my two both engaged and interested, whilst making it fun and interesting. Both our children continue to enjoy school and are happy and settled, and this is a large reflection on the support and enthusiasm yourself and all the School Staff have provided. |
How does the substantive remote curriculum align with the ‘normal’ school curriculum?
|
Please pass on my gratitude and thanks to Mrs Maddison and the whole teaching team. I think you are doing a fabulous job and appreciate the delicate balancing act between promoting the need for education but protection of our families. I wholeheartedly support the decisions and work you are doing and want to thank you for continuing to provide my little boy great educational provision and structure during this difficult time. |
How are days of remote learning structured? How will you teach my child and what will a day look like? Each day, we aim to ensure that our children take part in approximately 3 hours (if your child is in Key Stage 1) and 4 hours (if your child is in Key Stage 2) of teaching and study time. This is achieved by…
In addition to this, some children and families may also receive a phone call or ‘Zoom’, as part of our individual ‘check ins’ or to support learning following a review of work from the class teacher. |
The communication from you and your staff continues to be excellent, warm and incredibly helpful as we all navigate these unprecedented challenges. The speed with which you reacted, planned and implemented new ways of learning overnight has been outstanding and we really commend you. As a family, we are so grateful that our son attends such a caring, supportive school. We know that we could pick up the phone any time and be well looked after if we ever needed anything, which is all a parent can ask for. From a food bank to PCs and printing, you really are trying to meet every need possible, including perhaps the hardest, which is emotional support for children and families at this incredibly difficult time. You should be so proud of what you are doing and we do hope you can take a moment to breathe, reflect and give yourselves a big pat on the back |
Which tools and platforms do you use in order to deliver the remote learning?
|
I just wanted to send a small message but a BIG THANK YOU to you and your absolutely amazing team, I feel very emotional typing this we are so lucky to have the boys in such a special school, we can see how unbelievably hard you are all working; the amount of work and level of adjustment must feel quite overwhelming at times but we appreciate everything you’re doing. The boys are really responding well to the new time table, it’s just fantastic. Lost for words really but: thank you, thank you, thank you 😊 |
What if we don’t have the equipment needed for online learning? We recognise that for some families, remote education is daunting and may not have the equipment that is required. In order to help, we can:
These discussions will be held with families as soon as closure is announced – if not before. During the first day of school closures, all families at home will be contacted to ensure that they are prepared and able to support the remote education plans at home. |
Just a quick note to say how grateful we are for all of the fantastic work and support school is giving to our children. I work in public health and I see first-hand every day how hard it is for schools at the moment, you are all doing an incredible job. |
How much do you expect children to engage in the learning and what will happen if you are concerned about levels of engagement? How will you support us as a family?
|
Just wanted to say a massive, massive thank you again for another great week of learning! You really are a wonderful team; we are super happy, you are all amazing !! My Nieces go to another school and I know it is nowhere near the standard you and your team are producing…we are very lucky !!! |
How will my child receive feedback on their learning?
|
Just a quick note at the end of another busy week to say that we appreciate how hard you are working for the benefit of the children. We see this in EVERYTHING you do and we really appreciate it. We could not have asked for a more supportive environment for the girls and our family. You are amazing! J |
- • Each day, staff review engagement and achievement of all children in their class. If a child appears to require additional support, phone calls or a ‘Zoom’ meeting will be arranged.
- • Tasks can be differentiated at individual level via the PowerPoints.
- • Children who have an EHCP or support plan, who are not in school, will be afforded additional contact via the staff who typically support them in school. This will be additional to the general individual ‘check ins’ that are planned each week.
- • Children with visual problems will be posted reading scheme books, so they spend less time on screen than other children.
- • Daily learning tasks will be allocated via class e-mail. These will match, or closely match, those that the children in school are completing. Engagement will be monitored and feedback and support provided in line with the above protocols.
- • Children will have reading books and phonics activities allocated via the class teacher and these will be communicated via e-mail..
- • If appropriate, some isolating children may join a lesson via Zoom.
