Loatlands Primary School - Remote Learning

Remote learning for potential strike action

Children will have immediate provision as follows:

Read your school reading book x 20 minutes
EYFS/Year 1 and 2 practise phonics
Practise spellings
Practice times tables on Times Tables Rock Stars

Partial / whole school closure

Should individuals or groups of children be asked to self-isolate or in the event of a partial or whole school closure, the school is committed to providing continuity of education to its learners and will do so through a process of remote (online) learning.

This plan does not apply in the event of short-term school closures (e.g. as a result of inclement weather), non Covid related absence or if parents choose to take learners on holiday during term time.

The aim of this plan is to:

Minimise the disruption to pupils’ education and the delivery of the curriculum
Ensure that remote education, where needed, is of a high quality and aligns as closely as possible with in-school provision
Ensure that parents and children are clear about the support that will be offered and expectations relating to remote learning
Ensure all children have the support they need to complete their work to the best of their ability, and to remain happy, healthy, during periods of remote learning
Ensure robust safeguarding measures continue to be in effect during the period of remote learning

There is no expectation that children who are unwell should complete the remote learning tasks each day. Please contact school to let us know if your child is unwell during any period of isolation.

Teachers will ensure that:

Children are set:
- A daily English, Maths and Topic task, a weekly PHSE task in line with current class learning to ensure continuity of education
Daily learning tasks are uploaded to ‘Marvellous Me’ no later than 9:00am on the day they need to be completed
There is ‘daily engagement’ between teacher and child – e.g. explaining the learning as well as feedback.
They contact families weekly throughout their self-isolation. This contact will be via a telephone call.
They report any dangers or potential dangers they identify, as well as any concerns they may have about remote learning, to the Designated Safeguarding Lead or Deputy DSL

Parents will ensure that:

Children upload relevant work to ‘Marvellous Me’ by 4.00pm daily so that teachers can provide feedback
They contact school if their child is unable to access Marvellous Me
They contact their child’s teacher if their child is struggling with any aspect of the remote learning or if there are any questions
They support their child with remote learning. If unable to offer support, due to illness, inform school immediately
They inform school if they require paper copies of any remote learning

Children will:

Be ready to learn and engage with the daily tasks
Submit learning onto Marvellous Me by 4.00pm each day
Report any technical issues to their teacher as soon as possible
Notify a responsible adult if they are feeling unwell or are unable to complete the schoolwork they have been set

We would politely request that no work is completed in this way unless directed by the class teacher, as your child will be receiving everything that they need in school.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us.
