Dear Parent/Carer

Use of Chromebooks for remote learning

In the previous lockdown, remote education was very much in its infancy as we all got to grips with different ways of delivering education. This time around, however, we can literally use the lessons learned to provide quality education remotely.

In October last year, it became law that schools had a statutory duty to be able to deliver high standards of remote learning as necessary.

Where possible we have loaned Chromebooks to pupils to facilitate this learning. We are in the early stages of the new national lockdown but already it has been disappointing to note that some children have yet to access their learning through their Chromebook.

On behalf of all our schools, can I ask parents and carers to make sure their children are making full use of the devices and that work set for them is being done to the best of their ability. We know some children need more encouragement than others and we accept it is an added burden of responsibility at a difficult time for us all. But it is crucial that we try to minimise the disruption to education. The government has repeatedly said that the education of our children is a top priority and it has been a “last resort” to have to close schools to all but certain groups to try and contain the virus.

Please telephone or email your school directly if there are ways where you feel more support is needed. At primary level, there is a requirement for three hours of quality teaching and learning per day (five hours at secondary phase) and we must insist all learners should take part in what is being offered.

Yours faithfully

Mrs Gail Brown
Chief Executive and Executive Headteacher

‘Remote Teaching and Learning’ refers to the provision of online learning activities, teacher support, assessment and feedback from teachers to pupils in the event that normal lessons are unable to be delivered ‘face-to-face’ as normal. 

Dear Parent/Carer

As you all know, during these unprecedented times technology has been a fantastic resource in allowing us to continue to deliver high quality teaching and learning remotely. We therefore, as a school, are endeavouring to ensure this high quality education will continue no matter the circumstances or a child, family, ‘bubble’ or staff member.

Where the Government Guidance is different this time from March, is around the importance of home learning. The provision is no longer a childcare facility with some home learning opportunities, but much more about maintaining a high level of education. This means there is a clear expectation on parents, school and its pupils to engage with home learning – almost like the pupil is still at school. This means school and home need to grow clear strategies to tackle this and work together closely. It is now an expectation that children complete all of the learning provided via the online learning platforms. 

In order to do this a number of online platforms will be used to facilitate your children’s ongoing learning, which will continue to be based on the national curriculum and our curriculum design. The platform used may vary depending on the year group of your child as outlined in the ‘Remote Teaching and Learning Policy’ (available on the website).

The provisions provided for your child online will mostly include independent learning challenges facilitated by Google Slides/Seesaw (and may include teacher help videos). All learning will reflect the national curriculum. Live Learning check ins may be offered throughout the week, to allow children to virtually check in with each other and their teacher- more information regarding this will be provided shortly. 

On Friday 8.1.21 we will send a letter for each year group, clearly explaining what remote learning will look like for your child. This will include an overview timetable for the week and the school’s expectations. We will also upload this information onto our school website. 

Remote teaching and learning does however rely on access to the internet and a device capable of facilitating the online platforms being used. If you do not have access to the internet or any devices, please contact school and we will work closely with you to support your child’s needs and learning. 

Expectations, guidance and an in-depth overview about all aspects of remote teaching and learning, including provisions and feedback are available on our website.However, please be aware that it is an expectation that all home learning must be completed and handed in.

If you have any problems, please make contact with school.

Thank you for your continual and unwavering support,

Miss Woodward
