Past Information
Blended Learning can be defined in a number of ways, you can read more information about the 2 definitions below in our policy, click here:
When offering a Blended Learning provision for our children, our aims are to:
School Absence
There are a number of reasons why children may be absent from school, we will outline our response to each of these scenarios:
Illness
If the parent has reported their child absent due to non-coronavirus related sickness, we do not expect the child to complete work. Rather we wish the child a full recovery and expect them back in school as soon as they are better. In this instance, if the child is well enough to work from home, then they should be in school.
Awaiting a PCR test result
If your child is absent as they are awaiting the test results of a PCR test, then they are likely to be at home unwell. However, should any parents require activities to do while they await the PCR test results, then a selection of lessons and links can be found at the bottom of this page.
A positive test result
If a positive test result is returned then your child needs to self-isolate for 10 days.
Following confirmation of your positive test result the school will complete the follow:
We will
We won’t
Of course if parents decide that their child is too poorly to complete work, then of course we want them to rest and get better. This provision of daily work can be for the whole 10 days of isolation or part way through. This can be arranged with the class teacher.
Whole Class or School Absence
In the circumstances of a whole class or school having to isolate our blended learning offer differs to that described above. The presentation of work varies depending on the age of the child.
Nursery, Reception and Year 1 will be able to access their work via their class pages on the school website. The class teacher will post a daily letter with instructions, pre-recorded videos, examples of work for you to follow and complete at home.
Year 2 through to Year 6 will be expected to access their work online, via Google Classroom. The children have been taught how to use this and we have shared guides for parents as well as a video instruction for you to refer to. Please click here.
Resources
The school will help families as much as we can and aim to provide the following resources:
