Remote learning will be available for when individual children are in isolation due to members of their family being tested and awaiting results, when whole bubbles are in isolation due to their being a positive case, or if instructed by Public Health England, the whole school to be closed.
None of these situations are ideal, as the best place for children to have access to the National Curriculum is in school, with the required resources, with adults who have chosen their career and have had the necessary training! Although children learn many things at home, no one is expecting parents/carers to take on the teaching role as it would be done in the classroom, especially when juggling their own family circumstances which may or may not, be conducive to supporting children with the National Curriculum. Any support which therefore can be given, is valued and appreciated.
No family must feel any pressure during these periods away from school as all family circumstances differ tremendously; however, we have a responsibility to provide learning opportunities for the children. All we ask, in order for us to work together, is to have open conversations about support and their learning. We would hope that in any of these situations, learning at home would not be for more than 2 weeks – 10 school days.
We are also aware that if multiple bubbles are not able to come into school, or if a family are isolating, access to technology is limited. If parents have signed up to our i-Pad loan agreement, children will be able to borrow a school i-Pad for the duration of their isolation.
