Remote Learning Update
How Remote Learning Will Look:
Teachers will conduct live and/or interactive lessons for every student in all year groups for every lesson. As in an ordinary classroom situation, the way a lesson is delivered will suit the content/objectives of the lesson. Teachers will be ‘present’ on TEAMS for every lesson and may conduct a totally live lesson; they may set a pre-recorded LOOM and then be available to answer questions during the lesson; or they may ask students to do an independent activity but again be present on TEAMS to support students. There will be times where a teacher will turn their video off and ‘mute’ themselves whilst students complete their learning.
We will also be adding some enrichment events into the term ahead, where students and staff will be able to take a break from ‘screen time’ and take part in a number of wellbeing and fun activities. We appreciate it is not the same as being in school, but we will try to keep things varied and interesting!
Attendance During Remote Learning
Attendance to lessons and form time will be monitored by staff and parents will be contacted to offer support. We understand many of you, like us, are balancing our own personal arrangements but it is important students access all lessons. Please contact your child’s form tutor if you need to discuss this further.
Co-Curricular Offer
We are delighted that many of our staff have volunteered to run virtual Co-Curricular clubs whilst we are not in school. These range from Cooking to Dance to Film Club to a club for animal lovers. We will send out more information early next week alongside the PE Department’s Virtual Sports Clubs too.
Timings of the Day
We appreciate that our on-site timings of the day may not suit remote learning, so we have adapted them to ensure that the wellbeing of staff and students is our highest priority. At the end of each lesson there will be short interval to move to the next virtual lesson. We would like to stress at each interval that STAND and STRECTH takes place very much like in school. Hydrate with a drink and take a short comfort break. Students on site in Critical Worker Groups will follow the same timings.
