Guidance for Learning at Home – Parents/Carers and Pupils

If your child is off school because of Covid-19, it is our duty to ensure they learn from home.

The guidance below will give you information on how you can access home learning for your child, whilst they are not in school.

My child has to self-isolate while we wait for a Covid-19 test or test results for my child or household member and my child is well enough to complete work at home.

You should access the daily lessons from Oak National Academy. Click on the link below and choose the year group of your child. Each day there is an English and Maths Lesson alongside at least one subject lesson. They should also access Numbots and Timestable Rockstars. If you need log in details for this, please contact the school office.

My child has to self-isolate for 14 days as someone in our household or someone they have been in close contact with has tested positive.

As soon as you know your child is unable to come to school due to someone in your household testing positive or being in contact with someone who has tested positive and you’ve been asked to isolate, please access the daily lessons from Oak National Academy. Click on the link below and choose the year group of your child. Each day there is an English and Maths Lesson alongside at least one subject lesson.

Within 48 working days of knowing that your child will not be in school for 14 days we will provide you with a printed pack of work for your child to complete. They should also access Numbots and Timestable Rockstars. If you need log in details for this, please contact the school office.

A member of staff will call your child once per week to ensure they understand all of the work and to discuss it with them.

My child has tested positive for Covid-19 and is unwell.

If your child has tested positive for Covid-19 they may be unwell and unable to access any work that we provide for them. Please keep in touch with the school to let us know how they are doing and if you feel that they are feeling well enough to do school work, they can either access the access the daily lessons from Oak National Academy. Click on the link below and choose the year group of your child. Each day there is an English and Maths Lesson alongside at least one subject lesson.  Or, if you would like a printed pack, let us know and we will organise for one to be delivered to you.

• Each day’s work will be uploaded by 9am onto the website page.

• It is important that you email the completed work back to the teacher, so the teacher can check your child’s work, and give your child feedback. These are the ways you might email your work back to us:

• Download, print, complete by hand, scan and email back
• Download, complete on the screen, save and email back
• Download, complete by hand on paper, take a photo and email back
• Look at the work on the screen, complete by hand on paper, take a photo and email back
• For Nursery and Reception, the majority of the work will be practical, hands-on activities, so please take a photo of your child doing the activity and email it back

• Each class has an email address which the class teacher will monitor during the 14 days. These are the class email addresses:

• One email per day must be sent to the class email address with ALL the work completed for the day in one email. These may be as attachments.

• Please do not send one email per subject. It makes it very hard for the teacher to keep track of what has been completed and to reply to your child.

• The following work should be emailed back to the teacher each day:

• Teachers will email back giving feedback on the work the following day.

• Teachers will record on a register which children are emailing work back to them each day.

• If your child does not have access to any devices in order to complete their work, e.g. laptop, tablet or smartphone, please contact the school as soon as possible and we will arrange for a printed pack of work to be sent to your house.

• If your child is unable to complete the daily work because they are unwell, please email the teacher to let them know.

• If your child does not understand any of the daily work, please email the teacher and school will arrange for someone to call your child and explain it over the phone.
