We are encouraging pupils to return to school. However, to reduce community transmission and keep pupils and their families safe, during any periods of national lockdown, our pupils follow our remote curriculum.

Although we recognise that learning at home may not be as straightforward as learning at school, we provide remote learning, in line with our curriculum, to all pupils.

We offer as full a curriculum as possible by delivering workpacks, stationery, materials and equipment to pupils’ homes and providing laptops and internet access to pupils who don’t already have them. Daily lessons are delivered as pre-recorded videos or on digital platforms and every lesson is followed by a live session with the subject teacher. This gives pupils the feedback and one-to-one teaching they need and gives families the time and flexibility to fit it all in.

KS4 pupils can access lessons and teacher support in all core subjects including maths and English, as well as their chosen vocational subjects. KS3 pupils can access a range of lessons and teacher support, including maths, English and STEM.

We prioritise the safety and wellbeing of our pupils with continuing safeguarding, free school meals and weekly pastoral and therapeutic sessions for all pupils.

All our online lessons share a similar structure:

Video lesson		Independent work		Drop-in session
A short video with instructions, explanations and examples.		A set of questions, a section of a workbook or an activity to complete at home.		A chance to ask questions and get feedback from your teacher.
