Remote Learning
Throughout the year, there may well be occasions where individual, groups or the whole student body are required to self-isolate and work remotely. Please find information below explaining what will happen on each of these occasions.

Teacher Remote Learning
Should a member of the teaching staff need to isolate or in the event of a school closure, teachers have a number of methods available to them to teach remotely, including teaching via Microsoft Teams to their class or recorded PowerPoints
Student Remote Learning
Self-Isolating Student
If you are isolating, you will need to follow your timetable and visit Microsoft Teams to access and complete the resources uploaded by your Teacher. In place by 8:50am each morning, the assigned learning material will include clear instructions and be in line with the planned curriculum.
Typically, this will consist of the following:
- Presentations and worksheets containing key information and tasks
- Links to any required external websites such as BBC Bitesize, YouTube and Seneca Learning
- Online Textbooks
Whole class isolating and School Closures
In the event of a whole class or year group needing to isolate or if there is a school closure, you should continue to follow your school timetable and visit Microsoft Teams to access your learning. Your teachers will either:
- Live lessons with your teachers before being set an independent task and mini assessment
- Recorded presentation containing key information and tasks to be completed and a mini assessment
A student step-by-step guide is available for accessing and using Microsoft Teams
