Remote Learning
This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to staff, pupils and parents about what to expect from remote education at Wolvercote if local or national restrictions require entire cohorts to remain at home. Remote education is where the pupil and the teacher are not physically present in a traditional classroom environment. Information is relayed through other means such as online learning.
● The platform for facilitating home learning in the first instance is Google Classroom.
● Children and staff are familiar with this platform, having used it since September 2020.
● Using Google Classroom across the school provides consistency and enables pupil-staff interaction.
● All work uploaded to Google Classrooms will link to the curriculum being taught in school. For example, maths will follow the White Rose schedule and topics started in class will be continued.
● Some adjustments to the curriculum may be necessary depending on the content.
● A mixture of high-quality online and offline resources will be provided by class teachers.
● Work is meaningful and ambitious. Long-term projects and internet research activities are deliberately used sparingly by teachers.
● Children are asked to ‘turn-in’ (submit) work when it is completed via Google Classroom.
● Staff assess returned work and provide feedback where appropriate to enable a learning dialogue.
● Meetings may take place on line and all children would be expected to attend.
● Members of the SLT follow-up with families where repeated non-engagement presents itself.
● Upon request, printed resources may be provided to families with no suitable online access.
● We recognise that younger pupils will need adult support to access work and plan for this.
● Please contact the school if you are experiencing any difficulties in accessing Google Classroom or you have any queries regarding this document.
●If for any reason you find that you can not access Google Classrooms there are a number of sites where high quality work can be found.
