Remote Learning Hub

Remote learning set up:

During periods of remote learning, students will follow their normal school timetable and lesson structure. Lessons will be delivered remotely using a combination of live face to face online teaching and remote setting of work via platforms and apps regularly used within the Academy. Students are expected to engage fully with all live lessons and complete all tasks set remotely, records of student attendance to live lessons and engagement with home learning will be monitored regularly. For many subjects, the teaching will continue to follow the planned schemes of work and topics that would be covered if students were on-site learning in the classroom. For a limited number of subject areas (practical subjects), adaptions will be made to ensure learning can continue as closely aligned to the planned curriculum as is practical to do so.
