Remote Learning Policy

Welcome to the Remote Learning Page.

This is where you can access information about Remote Learning in school.  Below is the full Remote Learning Policy Statement which details the school's approach to this vital aspect of teaching and learning.

If we have to implement remote learning protocols, your child's class teacher will be in contact via Class Dojo. Please do all you can to support this learning at home. 

Our remote learning provision:

• There will be a daily check-in with your child's teacher which will allow us to touch base with your child and explain what is expected that day; your child (or you) can ask questions about the work at the time on the timetable below.   

The daily check-in times are as follows if the school goes into FULL LOCKDOWN:

• Staff will monitor both Class Dojo and Google Classrooms to monitor uploaded work, provide limited feedback and answer any queries that parents/carers/children might have regarding their work.
• The Government has set out the following as minimum expectations in terms of the hours required for Remote Learning:
  KS1: 3 hours
  KS2: 4 hours
  
  
• Staff will provide work which may take a variety of forms (i.e. BBC Bitesize, Oak Academy Live Lessons) including worksheets, tasks and activities that will mirror as far as possible what would be happening in school. Please accept that this is not the same as face-to-face delivery and cannot be for all the reasons that nothing replaces actually being in school but we will do our very best to support you in your role as home educators and partners in this process.  Your teacher will also provide a weekly overview of what is expected at the beginning of the week.
• Some classes will provide live streaming lessons but this is not an expectation for all pupils and is very much age appropriate.  Our provision is entirely in line with LCC expectations. 

If you have any queries or difficulties at all please speak to your child's teacher and we will do what we can to help.

This is a brand new READING RESOURCE that has been shared with us by our friends at Parklands Primary School.  We are very grateful to them for sharing the love... especially their love of reading:

VirtualLibrary-St Theresas

We are very much aware as a school that pupils are spending a lot of time learning on screen; to this end we have decided to suggest activities on a Wednesday afternoon that do not require a formal written response or require the child to be learning 'on a device'.  We are calling this project Wellness Wednesdays. We hope your child will enjoy the activities suggested and that this will provide some breathing space for all involved.

If your child is struggling to access home learning because they do not have access to an adequate device to support this learning then parents/carers can email the Head on headteacher@st-theresas.leeds.sch.uk  to request one.  This email will be handled in confidence and devices will be loaned out but must be returned to school when normal school resumes.

We are all in this together and your continued patience and support is very much appreciated.
