Year 10 to stay at home on Tuesday 15th December
30/11/2020 09:55:40

Due to coronavirus-related staff absence we are struggling to keep all classes adequately staffed. Year 10 will stay home and access remote learning on Tuesdays.

We have devised a contingency plan to ensure:

  • Students continue to receive quality education
  • Staff are prepared and are able to produce resources in advance
  • Parents are informed in advance and are able to plan

Contingency Plan

Students will stay home and access remote learning using a rota system. In the case of extreme staff shortages we will also ask an additional reserve year group to remain home and access remote learning.

This plan will be suspended should staffing allow full school re-opening. If this is the case parents will be informed in advance via our parent app, letter, text message service and website.

Accessing Remote Learning

Remote learning will take place using Google Classroom, if a student does not have the equipment to access Google Classroom please contact their Pastoral Manager, who will endeavour to provide equipment from school.

We have recently organised for all parents to have access to a special offer for Lenovo Chromebooks. This is the best way to make sure learning in and out of the school building is seamless and consistent.


Expectations for Remote Learning

A comprehensive guide to Remote Learning and associated policies can be found on our website.

Students will:

  • Access Google Classroom to retrieve resources for each lesson (note the resources provided may be allocated to a series of lessons)
  • Access and remain in Google Meet for each lesson

Staff will:

  • Ensure resources are uploaded in advance of a lesson/series of lessons
  • Engage students in ‘live lessons’ where possible**

The School will:

  • Provide a free school meal for all eligible students. Order forms can be completed online. These can also be picked up at reception
  • **Provide a tutor or teacher for each remote lesson to engage the students and answer queries
  • Complete a register of students accessing Google Classroom for each lesson
  • Report any absences to parents

Other Information

Students are not expected to self-isolate unless they or members of their household develop coronavirus symptoms.

Vulnerable students are expected to attend school as normal, provision will be made for them to access remote learning within school.

If a student is self-isolating or learning from home, and is entitled to free school meals, we can provide a meal in the form of a 'grab bag' containing a sandwich, drink and snack.

To order a grab bag please complete the form below by 9:30am each morning. Free School Meal grab bags will be available for collection each day between 12:00 and 1:20pm at our main reception. Bags will be individually labelled with each child's name.
