Government remote education guidance:
The government’s ‘Remote education good practice’ guidance (link below) has been used by Rhodes Avenue Primary School for the curriculum and delivery of remote education . The guidance offers non-statutory suggestions which we have considered in relation to the context of our school.
Since 23rd March 2020 we have developed our remote education offer and systems. The government has asked all schools to plan for any disruption to schooling during the 2020-2021 academic year and we will continue to develop our remote education offer and systems using our school self-evaluation monitoring activities which also include gathering feedback from children and their parents.
In order to enable effective capacity for the remote education expectations set by the government during an individual’s isolation, class isolation, group isolation or local lockdown the school follows the government’s ‘Guidance for full opening’ (link below).
