Remote Learning at Chesterfield

Remote Learning

Remote Learning is online learning which happens at home.

Where a class, group or small number of pupils need to self-isolate, or there is a local or national lockdown requiring pupils to remain at home, we will continue to develop our capacity to support pupils’ learning at home by providing:

access to high quality remote education resources
a curriculum sequence that allows access to high-quality online and offline resources and teaching videos, that are linked to the school’s curriculum expectations.
online tools that will be consistently used across the school in order to allow interaction, assessment and feedback, and make sure staff are trained in their use
printed resources, such as textbooks and workbooks, for pupils who do not have suitable access online

This will be achieved through a strong model of “blended learning”, using our familiar digital platforms SeeSaw, alongside Mathletics, Times Tables Rockstars, Letterjoin and other apps to support learning.

We have organised our Remote Learning according to three tiers which are described in more detail in the table below:

Tier 1: Remote Learning for Individuals
Tier 2: Remote Learning for Partial Closure (closure of a class/bubble/whole school for a short period of time, e.g. a circuit breaker)
Tier 3: Remote Learning for Full Closure over an extended period of time (whole school)

Tier 1	Remote Learning for Individuals
If a child is unwell, they should only engage in home learning once they are feeling better. Some pupils may be only off for 1-3 days whilst they await their test results.	If the child is well enough for home learning this will be published on child’s Seesaw account.   Teachers will schedule daily activities that correspond as closely as possible to curriculum work being delivered in class.   School staff will monitor the work completed and give feedback as necessary.   Feedback will come in many forms including written/typed comments,  acknowledgement of learning, staff audio-recorded feedback, ‘liked’  comments and more.   Teachers will only be able to give feedback at the end of school day due to  their class teaching commitments.   Pupils can contact their teacher regarding their work through the messaging  facilities on Seesaw.   Any parent communication should be via the school email on:  help@chesterfieldprimaryelt.org or the class email and not through the digital platform.
Tier 2	Remote Learning for Partial Closure
Class or year group bubble is isolating for 14 days.	he school will provide a daily timetable for pupils who are well enough to participate.   Where possible, the work will be provided by the child’s class teacher.   The timetable will be equivalent in length to the school day and cover the  same curriculum expectations.   Pre recorded lessons will be available to deliver new content.   Each set of daily tasks should be assigned to the classroom the evening before  by 5pm at the latest.   School staff will monitor the work uploaded and give feedback as appropriate.  Pupils can contact their teacher regarding their work through the messaging  facilities on Seesaw.   Feedback will come in many forms including written/typed comments,  acknowledgement of learning, staff audio-recorded feedback, ‘liked’  comments and more.   Any parent communication should be via the class or school email on:  help@chesterfieldprimaryelt.org and not through the digital platform
Tier 3	Remote Learning for Full closure
	Protocols as above – Tier 2 remote learning   The school will endeavour to remain open to pupils wherever possible,  however, should a full closure be necessary, we will offer immediate remote  learning.   The weekly timetable of activities will also be added to the website in your  year group sections.   An exercise book/paper/stationary will be provided for children where needed.
