Remote education provision: information for parents
This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils and parents or 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 pupils are self-isolating, please see the final section of this page.
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.
Children working from home will have activities to complete put on the class pages of our website to be recorded in their exercise books that have been sent home. |
We teach the same curriculum remotely as we do in school. |
We expect that remote education (including remote teaching and independent work) will take pupils broadly the following number of hours each day:
Key Stage 1 | Up to 3 hours a day including English, maths, topic, reading, spelling app and times tables app |
Key Stage 2 | Up to 3 hours a day including English, maths, topic, reading, spelling app and times tables app |
The daily activities will be put on the school website- www.linsladelower.co.uk Children will also have access to Times Table Rock Stars and Ed Shed. The log in for these have been send home. We will also use Zoom for assemblies and teaching sessions. |
We recognise that some pupils may not have suitable online access at home. We take the following approaches to support those pupils to access remote education:
We will contact parents of children entitled to free school meals to see if they need one to help with online learning. |
We use a combination of the following approaches to teach pupils remotely:
|
We expect the children to complete the online learning each day. Parents should help logging on to Zoom meetings and support where they can with activities at home. Registers will be kept of Zoom meetings and parents of those who do not attend will be called to remind them to join for the next meeting.
|
Parents are able to email each class teacher with concerns or questions about the online activities. Staff will make contact with families to see how they are getting on with the learning. More frequent contact will be made with vulnerable children and those with an identified special need that are not in school. |
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:
Teachers will include quizzes in the zoom lessons where appropriate. Children and parents are encouraged to email in work for feedback. When the children return to school their exercise books will be looked at to see what they achieved. |
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. We acknowledge the difficulties this may place on families, and we will work with parents and carers to support those pupils in the following ways:
Children with EHCPs are able to attend school. The SENDco will regularly contact parents of children with additional needs to find out what adjustments need to be made for their children. Some children have been delivered packs of materials to best suit their needs. |
