Remote education provision: information for parents

This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education where national or local restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home.

For details of what to expect where individual pupils are self-isolating, please see the final section of this page.

What should my child expect from immediate remote education in the first day or two of pupils being sent home?

At FCHS we have adopted a tiered approach to our T&L Provision and Continuity Plans. Our two stages that apply for this guidance are Stage C and Stage D.

Stage

Scenario

Approach

C

Hybrid: Isolating Bubbles

  • Standard practice with social distancing procedures in place for on-site bubbles.
  • Isolating bubbles following amended school timetable remotely via MS Teams
  • Isolating colleagues to deliver, with agreement, broadcasted live sessions
  • Onsite provision for vulnerable and keyworker students from isolating bubbles

D

Full Lockdown

  • Students following school timetable remotely via MS Teams
  • Onsite provision for vulnerable and keyworker students

Following the first few days of remote education, will my child be taught broadly the same curriculum as they would if they were in school?

We teach the same curriculum remotely as we do in school wherever possible and appropriate. However, we have needed to make some adaptations in some subjects. For example, practical based subjects may deviate away from medium term plans to better meet the restrictions of remote learning.
