This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to children and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education where a pupil cannot come into the school building but can work from home.
A child’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’s learning will be broadly in line with the curriculum in school.

We expect that remote education will take children broadly the following number of hours each day:
We provide a suggested timetable for the day when the whole bubble is isolating that closely replicates the timetable for the school day. | |
Reception | There are 2 hours of lessons for the core curriculum areas within the suggested daily timetable and a range of other daily suggestions and resources for independent learning activities. |
Key Stage 1 | The daily timetable suggested for:
|
Key Stage 2 | The daily timetable suggested for KS2 provides 4-5 hours of learning per day. |

We recognise that some children may not have suitable online access at home. We take the following approaches to support those children to access remote education:

How will my child be taught remotely?
We use a combination of the following approaches to teach children remotely:
We believe that regular contact with the class teacher helps to engage our children with their learning from home. Some examples of our remote teaching approaches:

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 children, for example some children 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 children in the following ways:
Where individual children need to self-isolate but the majority of their peer group remains in school, how remote education is provided will likely differ from the approach for whole groups. This is due to the challenges of teaching children both at home and in school. Please speak to your child's class teacher or our curriculum lead, Rachel Bailey to put in specific remote education plans.
