Parents' Questionnaire comments

During the Covid-19 lockdowns, the school provided remote education (home learning) for all children.

The provision took a variety of forms but included:

• live teaching via Teams
• work set and monitored via Seesaw
• Zoom sessions with the class
• wellbeing activities eg online games and quizzes
• individual or family contact

We provided the same service when classes or year groups had to self-isolate as a bubble.

The school is ready to provide this again in future if required.

Please see the attached information to for more detail about our remote education provision.
