Arrangements for Remote Learning

All pupils should attend school, in line with our attendance policy. Remote education is not viewed as an equal alternative to attendance in school.

Pupils receiving remote education will be marked absent in line with the Pupil Registration Regulations.

We will consider providing remote education to pupils in circumstances when in-person attendance is either not possible or contrary to government guidance.

This might include:

Occasions when we decide that opening our school is either:

• Not possible to do it safely
• Contradictory to guidance from local or central government

Occasions when individual pupils, for a limited duration, are unable to physically attend school but are able to continue learning, for example because:

• They have an infectious illness.
• They are preparing from or recovering from some types of operation.
• They are recovering from injury and attendance in school may inhibit such recovery
• Their attendance has been affected by a special educational need or disability (SEND) or a mental health issue

When providing remote learning, teachers will:

• Provide pupils with access to remote education as soon as reasonably practicable, though in proportion to the length of absence and disruption to the learning of all learners.
• Make reasonable adjustments for pupils with SEND to access remote education, where required, informed by relevant considerations including the support families will require and the types of services that pupils can access remotely.

Setting Work

• Children should be set an amount of work that replicates the content of a school day.
• The work should be high quality, meaningful and ambitious.  It should match as closely as possible to the objectives that are being taught in school or have been taught in school.
• If the remote learning is pre-planned, it should be sent by the end of the previous school day.  If it is due to an unexpected need, it should be sent as soon as reasonably practical.

 

For whole school closures or widespread disruption, home learning will be provided through the link below.  Where individual home learning is being provided, it will be sent home via email or as physical copies.
