This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to learners and students and parents/carers about what to expect from remote education where national or local restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home.
For details of what to expect where individual learners/students are self-isolating, please see the final section of this page.
A selection of resources and downloads can be found here.
For learners/students accessing full time or part time home learning a contact will be made with parents/carers to assess access to remote technology and the best approach for both parent and student to class work. All students will initially have packs to start to work with whilst other accessible options such as TEAMs and Dojo are being set up. We aim to reassure learners/students at a time of uncertainty. The initial emphasis is on activities that have been seen and completed before to encourage engagement and in order to make it accessible for the learner/student and as stress free as possible for parents/carers.

Feedback can take many forms and may not always mean extensive written comments for individual children. For example, whole-class feedback or quizzes marked automatically via digital platforms are also valid and effective methods, amongst many others. Our approach to feeding back on pupil work is as follows:
We recognise that some pupils, for example some pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), may not be able to access remote education without support from adults at home.
