Remote Learning 2020/21 Plan 

In September 2020, all our classes returned to full-time education following the Covid 19 closure in March. Although we hope that the majority of our children will now have an uninterrupted experience, there is the possibility that an individual child, a class bubble, or indeed the whole school, will need to self-isolate for a period of time. We have therefore put in place a plan for remote learning so that all children can continue with their education.  

This meets the expectations set out in the DfE guidance ‘Remote Education Support’  

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/remote-education-during-coronavirus-covid-19  

The school will use Microsoft Teams for remote learning.  

If a child does not have access to a computer/laptop and/or the internet, the school will do all it can to support children. Where funding can be accessed, remote devices (eg, laptops) and/or 4G connections will be sought, particularly for disadvantaged children. Parents will be reminded to make the school aware of any barriers to accessing remote learning. 

You will find here an example overview of lessons to be completed each day.  

It will provide learning across the curriculum and children will be expected to spend a similar amount of time completing this as they would spend learning in school. 

The Overview 

EYFS / KS1 & KS2 

The daily timetable may include: 

• Maths – Maths No Problem and Number Bots / Times Tables Rockstars 
• Reading – whole class guided reading/group reading, as well as daily individual reading 
• Writing – this may follow the sequence we are following in school, as well as using Pobble 
• Spelling/Phonics – following letters and sounds order 
• Foundation subject- learning linked to the year group curriculum – using a variety of sources. 

Providing feedback 

Pupils can send any completed work to teachers via the class email address or upload their work to Teams. 

Contact with pupils/ parents 

Parents are able to contact the school via telephone or the class email address. Teachers will email back feedback if required.  Where a pupil is self-isolating on medical ground for a significant  period of time, contact will be made via telephone on a weekly basis to monitor learning and provide support if needed.  

Pupils identified as vulnerable will be contacted on a weekly basis and support offered as necessary.  

Safeguarding 

Please refer to Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy.  

Data protection 

When accessing personal data, all staff members will: only use their official school email account and connect to the school network using their school laptop only.  

Sharing personal data 

Staff members are unlikely to need to collect and/or share personal data. However, if it does become necessary, staff are reminded to collect and/or share as little personal data as possible online. All data collection will be compliant with GDPR guidelines.  

Keeping devices secure 

All staff will take appropriate steps to ensure their devices remain secure. Computers should be locked if left inactive for a period of time. Operating systems must be up to date – always install the latest updates.  

Monitoring arrangements 

This policy will be reviewed by the HT as and when updates to home learning are provided by the government. At present the only ‘live lessons’ will be used via the Oak Academy.
