Remote education provision: Information for Parents 

 

This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education where national or local restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home. 

For details of what to expect where individual pupils are self-isolating, please see the final section of this page.

 

The remote curriculum: what is taught to pupils at home

 

What should my child expect from immediate remote education in the first day or two of pupils being sent home?

If your child and their class are self-isolating, they will be directed to Google Classroom.  All pupils have access to Google Classroom.  If your child does not know their username and/or password please contact Miss Foster fosterc@whitehillprimary.com or Mrs French frenchh@whitehillprimary.com and they will send you the information they need.  On Google Classroom, you will find a link to the National Oak Academy units of work. 

Pupils also have access to the following:-

MyOn 

For those on the Accelerated Reader programme,

Accessing remote education

How will my child access any online remote education you are providing?

Google Classroom

Please see the Google Classroom Guide for Parents for all the information you and your child need to access and use Google Classroom.  If you have any questions or queries, contact Miss Foster fosterc@whitehillprimary.com or Mrs French frenchh@whitehillprimary.com.

 

If my child does not have digital or online access at home, how will you support them to access remote education?

We recognise that some pupils may not have suitable online access at home. We take the following approaches to support those pupils to access remote education:

If your child needs a Chrome Book to access Google Classroom and/or Tapestry or you do not have any access to the internet at all please contact the school on admin@whitehillprimary.com

 

Additional support for pupils with particular needs

 

How will you work with me to help my child who needs additional support from adults at home to access remote education?

We recognise that some pupils, for example some pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), may not be able to access remote education without support from adults at home. We acknowledge the difficulties this may place on families, and we will work with parents and carers to support those pupils in the following ways:

Work is differentiated in all areas of the curriculum to support all children’s learning and, where, appropriate, contains visuals as well as written word to support children’s learning e.g. communicate in print etc.  Manipulatives will be sent home to support learning in key areas e.g. Maths.

There will be modelling and demonstration lessons for parents/carers to allow them to support home learning (particularly if there are specific methods that need to be taught)

If you require further support or would like further guidance please contact Miss Foster fosterc@whitehillprimary.com or Mrs French frenchh@whitehillprimary.com.
