Our Remote Learning Contingency Plan
The following information is a ‘Remote Learning Contingency Plan’.
What have we done so far to mitigate any gaps to learning for all children include:
- Baselining all children to identify any gaps in learning. Teaching adjusted to address any gaps identified
- Curriculum reviewed for each year group to prioritise key concepts
- Use of DFE documentation for additional support
- Application of high quality first teaching strategies by all teachers
- Regular monitoring of teaching and learning by SLT and subject leaders
- Maximise teaching and learning of core skills through the foundation subjects.
- Use of intervention strategies for children identified as off target for their end of year expectations
- Clear plan in place for remote learning in case of school/class/individual children not being able to attend school
Going forward, in the unfortunate event that a child or group of children are unable to attend school due to COVID-19, we have devised our remote learning offer. Please read this carefully so you are aware of what provision will be in place in the event that your child cannot attend the school site. Please note that any decision to close the site for some or all year groups will be made after consultation with the Department for Education/Public Health England following their risk assessment processes.
Please find below the details of the home learning offer available for children and families to cover a range of scenarios. Only in extenuating circumstances would these offers be unavailable.
