As part of our remote learning plan, which is required by the government, we have been working hard to ensure everything is in place in the event of closure of whole bubbles/classes or local lockdown due to Covid-19.
We will be using Microsoft Teams to provide a learning and communication platform between home and school. Accessible through this will be communication with your child’s class teacher, online learning activities, learning resources and support, marking and feedback. All learning will be accessed and returned via Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams will be a platform that we will use increasingly throughout the school year, not just in the event of a local or national lockdown. Please note, year R teachers will continue to use tapestry to set home learning tasks.
Pupils have been given a specific Microsoft Teams email/username and password (please note the password contains three letters, then five numbers), this information must be kept secure as it is individual to your child. Please contact the school office if you have forgotten your username and password.
Microsoft Teams is an accredited government funded platform provided to school as a secure way for schools to ensure all children can continue learning at home if required. Although this is a secure online system it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that your child is supervised whilst using Microsoft Teams and any other online learning, so internet safety guidelines are being followed at all times. Through the schools Microsoft Teams login, you and your child will only be able to access the school platform created by the class teacher. No other Microsoft Teams groups can be created using your child’s login.
We would remind pupils of our usual online safety rules and responsibilities which should be followed at all times when using Microsoft Teams – i.e. being mindful of others’ thoughts and feelings, only posting comments and questions relating to classwork and home learning, etc.
