Remote Learning Offer

At Worplesdon Primary School we have been busy reviewing and adapting our Remote Education Offer. We have listened to parental feedback, considered the age and needs of our pupils, and considered the findings provided by OSFTED in their review of Remote Education (on 11th January 2021) which recommends:

  1. Keep it simple
  2. When adapting the curriculum, focus on the basics
  3. Feedback, retrieval and assessment are more important than ever
  4. Laptops are slightly better than accessing via a phone
  5. Live lessons are not always best - different approaches to remote education suit different types of content and pupils. Mixed models may be effective in some cases.
  6. Engagement matters

We aim for our remote education to offer equality, impact and connection, and to promote positive emotional wellbeing  in line with our Values-based Education.

From Early Years to Year 6, we offer a combination of synchronous and asynchronous remote education which is digital for almost all pupils (unless paper packs are considered more beneficial).

Remote education is a broad term encompassing any learning that happens outside of the classroom, with the teacher not present in the same location as the pupils.

Digital remote education (often known as online learning), is remote learning delivered through digital technologies.

Synchronous education is live; asynchronous education is when the material is prepared by the teacher and accessed by the pupil at a later date.

Our remote learning plan has been developed to meet the needs of our pupils and their families in mind. We believe that this strategy will work best for the children at our school. Weekly overviews are provided to share the planned learning for the following week with daily timetables and resources uploaded at 6pm the night before. By using a combination of recorded presentations and live lessons, children and their families are able to adapt the timetable as necessary.
