Remote Learning

On occasions and in exceptional circumstances children may not be able to attend school. This could be as a result of family circumstances, school closure or an injury or illness, where the child is well enough to learn.

In those circumstances school is able to provide remote learning for children so their education is maintained. This may include the following:

• Links to appropriate lessons on Oak National Academy or other online learning platform
• Short zoom sessions to support learning and social interaction
• Paper packs or activities and resources
• Books and reading materials

IT equipment will be provided to support learning and access to websites when required.

Providing feedback on work:

• Any paper packs will be handed back to the teacher on return to school.
• Feedback will be given at least weekly via the agreed school app.
• Teachers will make regular contact with parents. This will be done, at least weekly, via email or phone call.

Practical tips for supporting learning:

Routines and expectations

• Try to keep normal bedtime and morning routines. Adjust schedules to meet everyone’s needs but don’t default to staying up late and sleeping in.
• Make a timetable with your child and stick to it. Include movement breaks, snack times and reward times.
• Make sessions short to begin with and build it gradually if the child is struggling with their concentration.

Choose a good place to learn

Set up a physical location that’s dedicated to school-focused activities. It should be:

• quiet
• clutter free
• free from distractions (away from television, phone etc)
• at a table with a comfortable chair

Support children with their learning

• Check in with your child regularly and talk to them about their learning
• Provide support and encouragement
