Online Learning Guidance

This guidance explains what the school will do to ensure that learning is continued, in the event of the school closing. 

The plan will offer parents/pupils the opportunity to use remote learning opportunities to ensure work continues online.

Teachers will set appropriate work in – line with our current curriculum. Children will remain in contact with their teacher through ClassDojo and will be able to receive feedback through this system, to share success and communications. Teachers and parents will be able to message one another to share information and offer support.

ClassDojo will also be used to celebrate children’s work and connect to their year group community.

In the event of any form of school closure/isolation and loss of learning caused, parents must engage in home learning. 

In preparation for home – learning, parents and children will receive logins and passwords for the following platforms:

  • Doodle
  • TT Rockstars
  • Dojo
  • Teams online learning (to follow)

Other Passwords will be made available for site which support learning when appropriate,

Teachers will communicate with groups of children on Teams if required to provide support and to set further work.
