Home/Remote LearningDuring full lockdown, the school is closed to all children except the children of Critical Workers who have received an offer of a place. Our learning will revert to remote learning for all children and will be delivered using Google Classroom. Rach child has been provided with their own log-in information. The teachers will engage with the 'class' on a daily basis through 'live' meets and will set daily learning activities for the children to access. Work can be submitted to the teacher through the google classroom or emailed to the teaching team on the class email address. There are also additional specific home learning activities under each of the class pages that can be accessed outside of lockdown if a child or bubble has to self-isolate. These can be used whilst the transition to providing home learning for that child/group is undertaken.Please scroll down for some general home learning activities Remote Education Provision: Information for Parents This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education where national or local restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home. At Barnham Broom C of E VA Primary School, we understand the need to continually deliver high quality education, including during periods of remote learning – whether for an individual pupil or many. We recognise the importance of maintaining high expectations in all areas of school life and ensuring that all pupils have access to the learning resources and support they need to succeed. For details of what to expect where individual pupils are self-isolating, please see the final section of this page. The remote curriculum: what is taught to pupils at homeA pupil’s first day or two of being educated remotely might look different from our standard approach, while we take all necessary actions to prepare for a longer period of remote teaching. What should my child expect from immediate remote education in the first day or two of pupils being sent home? On our school website we have a home learning section for each class that has a range of activities that children can access in the first day or two of remote learning. The school will communicate directly with parents about what to expect and how to access the remote learning whilst the class/bubble is closed. Following the first few days of remote education, will my child be taught broadly the same curriculum as they would if they were in school?We teach the same curriculum remotely as we do in school wherever possible and appropriate. However, we have needed to make some adaptations in some subjects. For example, some practical subjects such as in Science or PE may need particular equipment or apparatus, so those units will be taught in school and other areas, which are more suited to remote learning, will be substituted in. Remote teaching and study time each dayHow long can I expect work set by the school to take my child each day?We expect that remote education (including remote teaching and independent work) will take pupils broadly the same amount of time as would be dedicated to this in school. We would expect the children to have breaks regularly and of suitable length throughout the day especially if spending a significant amount of time using screens for remote learning. As a rough guide the amount of time would be between 3-4 hours engaged in learning activities. Accessing remote educationHow will my child access any online remote education you are providing? All remote education will be provided via Google Classroom. Teachers may also link to education platforms or apps such as the Oak academy, White Rose Maths hub, Purple Mash, Timestables Rockstars, phonics play BBC Bitesize and other sites, apps and platforms including class 1 DOJO. If my child does not have digital or online access at home, how will you support them to access remote education? We recognise that some pupils may not have suitable online access at home. We take the following approaches to support those pupils to access remote education: · We may be able to access devices to be able to lend to pupils. We have issued a google form for parents to let us know if they have any difficulties with accessing online learning, or parents can contact the school on 01603 759656 to find out more information. · We will only be able to lend devices that have been supplied by the DFE or donated to the school. We are not able to lend the devices we use in school. · Pupils can access any printed materials needed, if they do not have online access by contacting the school. Parents will need to collect the printed resources at the times given · Pupils can submit work to their teachers if they do not have online access by completing the sheets/activities sent home and arranging for them to be handed in at a set time to school. Parents will be responsible for bringing them to school.
How will my child be taught remotely?We use a combination of the following approaches to teach pupils remotely: · live teaching (online lessons) · recorded teaching (e.g. Oak National Academy and White Rose Hub lessons, video/audio recordings made by teachers) · printed paper packs produced by teachers (e.g. workbooks, worksheets) · textbooks and reading books pupils have at home · commercially available websites supporting the teaching of specific subjects or areas, including video clips or sequences · long-term project work and/or internet research activities (as per the schools full opening guidance, schools full opening guidance)
Engagement and feedbackWhat are your expectations for my child’s engagement and the support that we as parents and carers should provide at home?
In line with the Department for Education’s guidance, Barnham Broom C of E VA Primary School will be giving feedback on work submitted through our remote learning platforms. Feedback will be as and where appropriate. All schoolwork completed through remote learning must be: · Finished when returned to the relevant member of teaching staff. · Returned on or before the deadline set by the relevant member of teaching staff. · Completed to the best of the pupil’s ability. · The pupil’s own work. · The school accepts a variety of formative assessment and feedback methods, e.g. through quizzes and other digital tools from teachers, and will support them with implementing these measures for remote learning where possible. · The school will log participation and pupil engagement with remote education, as well as motivation levels and progress.
How will you check whether my child is engaging with their work and how will I be informed if there are concerns? · Pupils are accountable for the completion of their own schoolwork – teaching staff will contact parents via email if their child is not completing their schoolwork or their standard of work has noticeably decreased. · Teaching staff will monitor the academic progress of pupils with and without access to the online learning resources and discuss additional support or provision with the headteacher as soon as possible. · Teaching staff will monitor the academic progress of pupils with SEND and discuss additional support or provision with the SENCO as soon as possible. How will you assess my child’s work and progress?Feedback can take many forms and may not always mean extensive written comments for individual children. For example, whole-class feedback or quizzes marked automatically via digital platforms are also valid and effective methods, amongst many others. Additional support for pupils with particular needsHow will you work with me to help my child who needs additional support from adults at home to access remote education?We recognise that some pupils, for example some pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), may not be able to access remote education without support from adults at home. We acknowledge the difficulties this may place on families, and we will work with parents and carers to support those pupils as best we can. We will liaise with individual families to discuss their individual needs.
Remote education for self-isolating pupilsWhere individual pupils need to self-isolate but the majority of their peer group remains in school, remote education provided will likely differ from the approach for whole groups as there will not be the capacity for the teacher to teach both in school and to the individual self-isolating. This is due to the challenges of teaching pupils both at home and in school. However, the provision will be as close as possible to what is detailed above. In the event of a child awaiting test results, activities relating to the current week’s learning will be provided from the working day after the school has been notified of a Covid related absence. Please notify school straight away, if your family is having to self isolate. You can find more information if you click on the links below.
