There may be rare occasions when the school needs to close
unexpectedly. For example, during extreme weather or due to a powercut. This
will be communicated through the school website and on school social media
channels among other places. On these occasions we will switch to remote
learning which students can access by their electronic devices to use Teams.
This may be for live lessons but it is more likely that staff set lessons that
students can complete independently. The expectations for students/parents are
as follows;
Staff can
expect pupils learning remotely to:
· Be contactable during the school day – although
they may not always be in front of a device the entire time and staff will be
mindful of this when expecting work to be completed
·
Complete work to the deadline set by teacher
·
Seek help if they need it, from teachers or
teaching assistants
·
Alert teacher if they’re not able to complete work
·
Act in accordance with normal behaviour rules /
conduct rules of the school
Staff can
expect parents/carers with children learning remotely to:
·
Engage with the school and support their children’s
learning, and to establish a routine that reflects the normal school day as far
as reasonably possible
·
Make the school aware if their child is sick or
otherwise can’t complete work
·
Seek help from the school if they need it – if you
know of any resources staff should point parents towards if they’re struggling.
Please see the attachments for further information.
·
Be respectful when making any complaints or
concerns known to staff
Where work is not directly set then students should use their time to complete activities from the documents attached, which show useful websites and activities related to all subjects across Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5.
