Remote Learning 2020-21
What is Remote Learning?
Remote Learning is where the children and/or teachers are not physically present in a traditional classroom environment. Therefore, the learning which would normally take place in the classroom is relayed via another means. For example, through an online platform, video conferencing, telephone calls, and work packs.
At Hassocks Infant School we have identified four different tiers for when we would need to use remote learning. These are as follows;
Tier 1 |
Tier 2 |
Tier 3 |
Tier 4 |
Individual children are self-isolating. |
A whole class is self-isolating. |
A whole year group is self-isolating. |
A school closure. |
What is the aim of this Remote Learning policy?
- To support our school community to understand Hassocks Infant School’s approach to remote learning.
- To ensure consistency in the approach to remote learning for pupils who are not in school.
- To set out expectations for all members of the school community with regards to remote learning.
Remote Learning at Hassocks Infant School
Remote Learning is new to the school and we will be reviewing our approach to remote learning regularly to ensure it supports our school community.
At all tiers, remote learning will be based on assessments of where children are with their learning and will reflect learning that would be happening in school. Staff will create learning activities which take into account all learning types.
The table below outlines what remote learning will look like at the different tiers (this will be reviewed and updated throughout the year);
Tier 1 – Individual Children are Self-Isolating |
At this stage, your child’s class teacher and teaching assistant will still be teaching full time and supporting children in school and are unable to provide remote learning via an online platform. However, we would love to see your learning on Tapestry. |
Tier 2 - A whole class is self-isolating. |
|
Tier 3 - A whole year group is self-isolating. |
|
Tier 4 - A school closure. |
