Remote Education

In exceptional circumstances, in the event a child is unable to attend school, we follow the DfE’s guidance on providing remote education.

Remote education should only ever be considered as a last resort where a decision has already been made that attendance at school is not possible, but students are able to continue learning.

Attendance is essential for students to get the most out of their school experience, including for their attainment, well-being, and wider life chances.

Remote education should not be viewed as an equal alternative to attendance in school. It is considered as a last resort when the alternative would be no education, and only after it has been established that students will be absent from school. In such cases, remote education can have the benefit of allowing absent students to keep on track with their education and stay connected to their teachers and peers.

Circumstances where it might not be possible for students to receive in-person education fit into 2 broad categories:

School closures or restrictions on attendance, where school access for students is restricted
Individual cases where a student is unable to attend school but is able to learn. Please note these circumstances are limited to short-term absence and guided by medical professionals e.g. short-term infectious illness, operation or injury.
Students whose attendance has been affected by a special educational need or disability (SEND) or mental health issue, where the reason for absence has been established and remote education would be part of the plan to re-integrate the student back into the classroom.

The school may make learning resources available via student’s Microsoft Teams accounts using the parallel curriculum provided by curriculum leaders including the online learning resources we subscribe to. We also use Oak National Academy to support the delivery of remote learning where appropriate.

Online Learning Resources

All students are given their usernames and passwords when they join the school. These are reissued at the start of each year. Most of our online platforms use a single sign-on, meaning that students log on with their network username and password.

If your child can’t access an online resource, please contact their Head of Year.
