Remote Learning at Orchard Park
Our Remote Learning Policy explains how we support pupils who cannot attend school due to government guidance or long-term illness. It sets clear expectations for teachers, parents, and pupils around planning, teaching, learning, and assessment.
What We Provide
- Immediate access to remote education when needed.
- A consistent approach for all pupils, including those with SEND.
- High-quality online and offline resources to keep learning on track.
Our Aims
- Deliver interactive, high-quality lessons that mirror classroom learning.
- Continue the full school curriculum, while supporting motivation, health, and wellbeing.
- Help pupils learn new concepts and reinforce prior knowledge.
- Ensure pupils complete work they would normally do in school.
- Use online tools for interaction, assessment, and feedback.
- Support parents with guidance and training (e.g., Google Classroom, Zoom).
- Communicate effectively so families can access resources easily.
- Provide equipment for pupils who need it.
Why It Matters
Remote education helps children keep learning and progressing, even during isolation or local restrictions, and reduces gaps for disadvantaged pupils.
