Peter Hills Church of England School

Remote Learning

In the event of a national or local restriction, we may be required to teach entire groups of the whole school online. If this is to occur again, the school has the following plan in place;
Remote Curriculum: What is taught at home?

Class teachers and support staff use a range of approaches to teach pupils remotely through Google Classroom including:

  • live sessions;
  • recordings made by the class teachers;
  • recordings made by education specialists such as White Rose Maths; and
  • purposefully chosen websites supporting the teaching of specific subjects or areas of the curriculum including video clips or sequences.

As part of teaching and learning, they deliver mathematics, reading, writing, phonics, spelling and topic activities as they would ordinarily do in class, but these appear in Google Classroom.  School staff consider the best use of the daily live sessions.  During a live session, class teachers may:

  • introduce learning for that day or subsequent days and explain new concepts;
  • check in with pupils to support their emotional wellbeing and find out how they are engaging with the learning;
  • facilitate question and answer sessions;
  • share presentations, websites and resources; and
  • provide feedback to groups or the whole class.
