REMOTE EDUCATION
PROVISION
During COVID-19 National Lockdown
January 2021
Date: 21st January 2021Remote education provision: information for parents
This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils and parents or
carers about what to expect from remote education where national or local restrictions
require pupils to remain at home.
The remote curriculum: what is taught to pupils at home
• We teach the same curriculum remotely as we do in school wherever possible
and appropriate. However, we have needed to make some adaptations in some
subjects. Half term plans for each class are provided separately.
Remote teaching and study time each day
We expect that remote education (including remote teaching and independent work) will
take pupils broadly the following number of hours each day:
Early Years As teacher decides is appropriate
Key Stage 1 An average of 3 hours daily
Key Stage 2 An average of 4 hours daily
2Accessing remote education
Our digital platform is Microsoft Team. Each child has been given access to this
platform. Children will be able to upload and download work using this platform and
communicate with teachers via Microsoft Teams Chat. Email is also available, as and
when needed.
Home learning activities are uploaded daily or weekly.
Teaching will be a mix of online lessons and printed materials. Teachers will be using
Microsoft Teams video and zoom to introduce/deliver some lessons. Children will
then work independently and upload work to be marked and receive feedback.
We will also make use of zoom for some lessons, ie French and Music.
Some classes will have access to StudyLadder
Teachers will use YouTube for ‘PE with Joe Wicks’ or alternative
Children will be encouraged to access BBC Bitesize and other websites as
appropriate
As usual, we will continue to contact you via:
• Text messaging
• Emails
• Microsoft Teams
• The school website
Support for children who do not have digital or online access to
remote education
We recognise that some pupils may not have suitable online access at home.
As an independent school, we are not eligible for the laptops or other technology from
government funds.
If you do not have online access, please contact the school to discuss alternative
arrangements or contact your child’s teacher to arrange a time to pick up and return
pupil work.
Hyland House School is committed to supporting parents and pupils in the education
of all children.
3Remote teaching
We use a combination of the following approaches to teach pupils remotely:
Some examples of remote teaching approaches:
• live teaching (online lessons) via Microsoft Teams and Zoom
• recorded teaching (particularly if needed in Early Years)
• printed paper packs produced by teachers (e.g. workbooks, worksheets)
• textbooks and reading books pupils have at home
• audible books
• commercially available websites supporting the teaching of specific subjects or
areas, including video clips or sequences
• long-term project work and/or internet research activities
4Engagement and feedback
Parental support and pupil engagement for remote learning
Expectations for pupils’ engagement with remote education:
• Check Microsoft Teams for details of lessons
• Be on time for teaching sessions
• Speak to the teacher if unsure of what to do or for support
• Complete assignments, to be best of your ability, by date given
• Upload work for marking and feedback
• Remember that rules are to ensure they are kept safe
Expectations of parental support for each child’s education:
• Encourage and support your child’s work
• Find an appropriate place for your child to work (ie safe, quiet and free from
distractions
• Ensure your child attends and is on time for teaching sessions, are dressed
appropriately (eg school uniform) and treat others with respect
• Inform your child’s teacher if your child in unable to attend live sessions
• Check that work set is completed
• Contact class teacher with any concerns
• Upload work for younger children (Early Years and Key Stage 1)
• Be present for any 1:1 work
• Ensure the child’s face can be seen (you may use a virtual background if you
do not wish your home to be seen)
• Ensure live sessions are not recorded or shared (eg on social media)
Checking that children are engaging with their work
and how will I be informed if there are concerns?
5Pupil engagement will be checked:
• Teachers will monitor pupil engagement daily and make a record of, and
contact parents via email or Microsoft Teams, if they are concerned about pupil
engagement with remote education
• Parents are asked to contact their child’s teacher with any concerns
Assessing children’ work and progress?
Feedback can take many forms and may not always mean extensive written comments
for individual children. For example, whole-class feedback or quizzes marked
automatically via digital platforms are also valid and effective methods, amongst many
others.
Our approach to feeding back on pupil work is as follows:
• Indivdiual marking and feedback of uploaded work
• Whole-class feedback
• Quizzes marked automatically via digital platforms (ie StudyLadder)
• Pupils will receive feedback within 2 school days
SAFEGUARDING
Safeguarding of our children remains paramount. We have an addendum to our
Safeguarding and Child Protection policy which is available on the website. However, we
hope you find the following documents useful:
