Remote Learning
Autumn 2021 Update:
If your child is self-isolating due to having Covid-19, please contact your class teacher through the office who will be able to provide some work for them. If your child is ill, then they should rest and do not need to do any school work.

Live online sessions
We understand the value in the children being able to have face-to-face contact with their class teacher whilst they are learning from home and so we have organised for live online sessions to be held on a daily basis. Each phase will have a dedicated time where the children will be invited to join a google meet with their class, if they are available to do so. These live sessions may be used for multitude of different purposes, such as teaching a new concept, explaining how to complete a task, reading a story or giving feedback on previous learning.
Guidelines for live sessions:
Please discuss the following expectations for the live sessions with your child. Teachers will also discuss expectations with the children during the first meeting.
- Face to face sessions will be in groups.
- Children should wear suitable clothing.
- Children should ideally be situated in a suitable ‘public’ area within the home with an appropriate background.
- Maintain the standard of behaviour expected in school.
- Use the necessary equipment and computer programs as intended.
- Do not record, store, or distribute video material without permission.
The timings are as follows and will remain the same each day:
| Year Group | Time |
|---|---|
| Nursery | 10.30am |
| Reception | 10.30am |
| Year 1 | 9am |
| Year 2 | 9am |
| Year 3 | 10am |
| Year 4 | 10am |
| Year 5 | 11am |
| Year 6 | 11am |
Children who are attending our critical worker provision will be accessing the same resources and will be able to join the live sessions with their class teacher.
