Remote Learning Offer

At Rode Heath, we are committed to ensuring that all pupils continue to receive high-quality education during periods when attending school on site is not possible. This Remote Learning Statement outlines our approach to supporting learning in situations such as:

• School closures or partial closures where access to the school site is restricted.

• Individual cases where a pupil is unable to attend school but is well enough to continue learning from home (e.g., short-term illness, isolation, medical circumstances).

1. Aims

Our remote learning provision aims to:

• Provide continuity of education and maintain pupils’ progress.

• Ensure that remote learning is accessible, manageable, and aligned with the curriculum delivered in school.

• Support pupil wellbeing and maintain regular contact between home and school.

• Offer clear expectations for staff, pupils, and families.

2. Remote Learning Provision

Where pupils are required to learn from home, the school will provide:

• Daily learning activities that reflect the subjects taught in school, including English, maths, and a range of foundation subjects.

• Recorded or live teaching, where appropriate, or high-quality learning resources aligned with classroom teaching.

• Paper-based learning packs for families without access to suitable devices or internet.

3. Expectations for Pupils

Pupils working remotely are expected to:

• Engage with the learning activities provided each day.

• Submit work or share learning with their teacher as requested.

• Ask for help when needed through approved school communication channels.

4. Support for Parents and Carers

We recognise the vital role of parents and carers in supporting remote learning. The school will:

5. Feedback and Assessment

Teachers will:

• Review submitted work and provide feedback to support progress.

• Adapt remote learning activities based on pupils’ needs.

6. Pupils with SEND

For pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, we will:

• Ensure remote learning remains accessible and supportive of individual targets.

• Maintain communication between the SENDCO, staff, and families.
