Google Classroom is the main platform teachers will use for remote learning. We have included some helpful links, documents and tutorials on how to use the platform with your children. This page will also link you to key high quality websites used by teachers.
Remote Learning Policy
Please see the remote learning policy on our general policy page and the online safety policy on the Safeguarding & policies page. The policy sets clear expectations of pupils, parents and teachers when learning from home and provides guidance on how to access high quality education resources. The policy explains how pupil work and progress will be evaluated and feedback given as part of effective communication between home and school. Each teacher provides a daily schedule and weekly timetable to support the delivery of remote learning. This includes specified live teaching and live feedback sessions. Minimum hours of active learning are made explicit for each year group.
