REMOTE LEARNING – INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND CARERS
​
The aim of our remote learning provision is to make sure that we continue to meet our school curriculum intent in order that students may experience as little disruption to their education as possible. We remain committed to providing an ambitious and meaningful remote learning experience for students.
​
Students will continue to follow the normal school curriculum whilst learning remotely. At times adaptations may need to be made. This may be particularly the case in practical subjects where there are more obvious restrictions on the curriculum at home. We will also continue to offer virtual extra-curricular and well-being activities.
​
Departments upload resources at the start of each week to Microsoft Teams so that work is available for students once notified of a school closure or period of self-isolation. For those who require paper work-packs these will be posted out within the first two days or provided to students if they are in school when notice is given.
