Welcome to the Remote Learning section of our school website

FAQ's

How long can I expect work set by the school to take my child each day?
EYFS- Reception Children will have activities set each day for phonics, reading, maths, music, PE and topic work.  These will be as practical as possible to limit the screen time required.  Children also have access to reading books on Oxford Owl and subscriptions to Maths and Phonics apps which they can access each day.  
KS1 children (Class 1) are expected to do an average of 3 hours work per day. Children will be set work for phonics, reading, maths and topic work. Handwriting sheets and spelling lists will be provided for ongoing work, and writing will be incorporated into topic work.
KS2 (Class 2 and 3) are expected to do 4 hours of work per day. Children will be set work for maths, reading and writing, as well as topic work for the afternoon, such as science, history, PE or art.
These expectations have been set by the Department for Education. 

How will my child access any online remote education you are providing?
If your child is in the Family Unit, you will  be able to access their learning on Tapestry or via email.
If your child is in Class 1, 2 or 3, you will be able to access their work on Class Dojo. The class teacher will have sent you a log in for your child’s account and you can access their work and message your child’s teacher regarding any questions. You can also email your child’s teacher regarding any queries you may have. 

Your child will also have access to live online zoom sessions with their class teacher. How frequent these are will depend on what Key Stage your child is in. These sessions are an opportunity for your child's teacher to explain the work set for the day and address any questions regarding the work. If your child is in Key Stage 2, they will also have the opportunity to take part in zoom sessions at the end of the day to receive feedback for their work and go over any misconceptions. 

If my child does not have digital or online access at home, how will you support them to access remote education?
In Autumn term we asked all parents to let us know if you had access to the internet and a device that your child/ren could use in the case of lockdown or isolation periods.  If you do not have access to the technology to access home learning, please contact us and we can help with accessing technology, such as a laptop. We can also deliver paper copies of your child’s work for the week. If you have access to a laptop or tablet, but require help with internet, contact your child’s class teacher as there are government schemes you may be able to access to help with this. 

How will my child be taught remotely?
The majority of your child’s work will be uploaded to Tapestry or Class Dojo. We will send links to videos to watch to help with your child’s learning or to accompany a worksheet. Class teachers will also be available via phone call, email or zoom sessions to support you or answer any questions about your child’s learning as well as helping us to keep in touch with you.  

Engagement and feedback
We expect that your child completes the work that has been set by the teachers daily, however we understand that some days you may have issues that affect this, such as technology or your own work commitments. If you have any issues at all please contact your child’s teacher and we will support you in any way possible. 
Teachers will be regularly checking Tapestry/Class Dojo throughout the day, marking work and giving feedback. If there is any work that needs correcting on Class Dojo, your child’s teacher will leave a comment and return the work as a draft.
