- Remote learning was essential during the lockdowns associated with Covid-19. Schools have since returned to ‘normal’ operations and routines therefore remote learning is now unlikely to occur. Teachers will ordinarily be teaching a class of children and will not be expected to teach in addition to this. If a child is absent due to illness, the school will not expect a pupil to complete home learning. Every situation is different and the school will work with families with exceptional circumstances, to support effective home learning. This may be e.g. if a child is absent long term, having had an operation or for unforeseen circumstances. Each case will be assessed on an individual basis and the school will support as appropriate. This may take the form of worksheets associated with the current in-school learning, use of textbooks, online resources such as TT Rockstars and changing of reading books. Parents should make contact with the school if they feel that their child is able to complete learning at home under exceptional circumstances.
