Home Learning

Remote Learning

We believe that our school is the most suitable place for learning and that all children should attend school if they are healthy and well. Remote education will be offered in situations where a class, group or small number of children need to self-isolate, or there are local restrictions requiring pupils to remain at home.

In the event that children need to learn remotely, the school will loan them an iPad use at home. The iPads have been restricted and configured with the apps the children need such as Google Classroom, Lexia, Timetable Rockstars, SpellingShed, MathsShed.

We will use two main tools to communicate with pupils and parents whilst they are learning remotely: Class Dojo and Google Classroom. 

Google Classroom

We are now using Google Classroom as a hub to allow blended learning from the classroom into the home. Our pupils in Y1-Y6 will be able to use their iPads to access homework and to learn from home when in isolation. Every child has a unique login to the Classroom.

Google Classroom is a safe and secure solution for children to access their learning materials directly from us, their teachers. There is also the option to collaborate with other pupils in the class by sharing ideas or tips.

By clicking the image above, you will be taken directly to the Google Classroom webpage. On the right, you will see an option to sign-in. Once in, you will be in your class page with your assignments and lessons. If you require any help or support, please email your child's class teacher or message them using Dojo.
