Pupils should expect live streamed lessons. On the first of home learning, your child will receive live stream lessons in reading, writing, maths and topic. They will also be provided with self-directed learning to complete for an additional hour at the end of the live streamed sessions.
Reception and Year 1 will have short, live streamed sessions and also asynchronous work to complete through the day (eg phonics) . You will receive your child's log in information by email alongside a 'How To' Guide, and links to Microsoft Teams will be sent by the class teacher each day.
Yes. We teach the same curriculum remotely as we do in school wherever possible and appropriate. However, we have needed to make the following adaptations:
Live stream lessons run from 9-2, after which pupils have a minimum of one hours work to complete as set by the class teacher.
Year R-1: 3-4 hours daily. Literacy, Maths and Foundation subjects are live streamed with supplemental work provided.
Year 2-6: 5-6 hours daily. English, Reading, Maths and Foundation subjects are live streamed with supplemental work provided.
We use Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Teams to support online learning. Your child has their own Office 365 account for emails. Your child has been shown how to use a Chromebook and how to access Teams.
You will have received information to help you support your child with this. For pre-recorded work, we use Microsoft Sway and you will receive links to these in the information from school.

We use a combination of the following approaches to deliver remote education:
For year R -6
For Nursery:
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:
There will be daily live teaching sessions which will allow teachers to check on your how well your child is doing. If your child is not online when we expect them to be, we will make a phone call home to check. If your child is not completing and submitting work, your child’s classteacher will call you to discuss this. They will talk to you about how you can help.
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:
Your child will be expected to complete, upload and send their work back via Teams. This will be through their email account. A photograph works well for this, but your child’s teacher will let you know what we need. We will sometimes use online quizzes to check if your child has understood what they have been learning.
We recognise that some pupils, for example some pupils with SEND, may not be able to access remote education without support from adults at home.
We will work with parents and carers to support those pupils in the following ways:
If your child has special educational needs and/ or disabilities, we will speak to you directly about their support. They will continue to be supported by the adults who work with them in school through live teaching or additional recorded information. This work will match what they would access in school as far as is practicable. There might be some circumstances where this is not possible, but we will speak to you directly about this.
If your child is not in school because they are self-isolating, we will follow the same approach as above. We will contact you to discuss our child’s learning at least twice a week.
