Thank you for your continued support and adapting to remote learning so smoothly.

I have outlined our vision, values and approach to remote learning below and as always, please do not hesitate to contact school if we can support you further in any way at all.

Vision: To provide a broad and balanced curriculum where wellbeing remains at the centre of all we do. We want to create a calm, structured and purposeful learning environment for your child at home.  Our aim is to generate daily opportunities of togetherness, laughter and creativity where every member of our community feels valued, appreciated and connected.

Approach to Remote Learning

Each day will start and finish with a whole school assembly on Microsoft Teams at 8.45am.  Teachers will upload a suggested timetable on Seesaw each Monday morning and families are asked to check their child’s account each morning.  In addition, there will be an over-arching theme to support each week to provide engagement and excitement.

Each year group will be provided with a balance of daily live lessons, pre-recorded lessons and directed tasks uploaded to Seesaw.  Your child’s teacher will also provide instructions and guidance on accessing additional online learning such as: Times Table Rock Stars, Bug Club and Readiwriter Spelling.  Each child has been sent a reminder of their log-in details in order to access these packages.

Learning will continue in line with the curriculum sequence and expectations in the same way that it would within the classroom.  Children’s knowledge and skills will be built incrementally so that they can then complete set tasks and assignments via Seesaw.

Teachers will check and acknowledge all work and give more in depth feedback at least once a week. Assessment and feedback will be used to adjust the pace of learning or level of difficulty as necessary, with further learning then adapted as a result.

Communicating during partial school closure

Mr Gunning will deliver fortnightly meetings for parents beginning on Friday 15^th January up until Friday 12^th February, and again after half term if the school closure continues.  In addition, please use the below lines of communication dependent on your query:
