Using the Remote Learning Plan below for Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils, pupils in school and at home will be taught the coverage of the curriculum as they would be in school. Some adaptations have been made where learning requires practical work using resources we cannot provide at home.

The guide below. for when there is a class or whole school closure, offers 3 hours of live learning through Microsoft Teams, as well as additional set activities on learning apps or offline. The minimum expectations for Year 3-6 is 4 hours and for Year 1-2 is 3 hours. We encourage pupils in Nursery and Reception to access phonics lessons, the work set on their learning apps and for parents to use Evidence Me to capture experiences at home. If a pupil or member of staff is isolating and the class remains open, a blended approach with a normal timetable will be in place.

Technology Support
Through surveys, we have identified families in need of device loaning. We are currently issuing devices to families that require support to overcome the barrier of lack of technology. We also have an allocation of mobile sims to increase your data to access online learning, as well as supporting you to get increased data from your phone provider, if it is applicable.
If you require support, please contact the school. 
Laptops are on loan for the duration of school closure.

Please see the Remote Learning Policy for how this differs for pupils self-isolating when school is open to the rest of their class.

Additional Support for Pupils with Particular Needs
We Recognise that some pupils, for example those 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 these pupils by setting home learning packs appropriate to needs and small group or one to one sessions through Microsoft Teams. Please contact the school if you require further support.

Pupil Voice
Each day, we ask pupils to fill in a survey about their learning and how they are feeling. We review this information to see if school can be doing any more to support them with their learning. Using words created from the survey, we have created a Wordle to visually represent the most common words used in the survey answers.
