The Remote Curriculum at St. Boniface RC Primary School
What is taught to pupils at home?
A pupil’s first day or two of being educated remotely might look different from our standard approach, while we take all necessary actions to prepare for a longer period of remote teaching.
What should my child expect from immediate remote education in the first day or two of pupils being sent home?
|
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?
|
Remote teaching and study time each day
How long can I expect work set by the school to take my child each day?
Nursery and Reception | 2 hours per day |
Year 1 and Year 2 | 3 hours per day |
Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 | 4 hours per day |
Accessing remote education
How will my child access any online remote education you are providing?
|
If my child does not have digital or online access at home, how will you support them to access remote education?
We recognise that some pupils may not have suitable online access at home. We take the following approaches to support those pupils to access remote education:
|
How will my child be taught remotely?
We use a combination of the following approaches to teach pupils remotely:
Some examples of remote teaching approaches:
|
Engagement and Feedback
What are your expectations for my child's engagement and the support that we, as parents and carers should provide at home?
|
How will you check whether my child is engaging with their work and how will I be informed if there are concerns?
|
How will you assess my child’s work and progress?
Feedback can take many forms and may not always mean extensive written comments for individual children. For example, whole-class feedback or quizzes marked automatically via digital platforms are also valid and effective methods, amongst many others. Our approach to feeding back on pupil work is as follows:
|
Additional support for pupils with particular needs
How will you work with me to help my child who needs additional support from adults at home to access remote education?
We recognise that some pupils, for example some pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), may not be able to access remote education without support from adults at home. We acknowledge the difficulties this may place on families, and we will work with parents and carers to support those pupils in the following ways:

Remote education for self-isolating pupils
Where individual pupils need to self-isolate but the majority of their peer group remains in school, how remote education is provided will likely differ from the approach for whole groups. This is due to the challenges of teaching pupils both at home and in school.
If my child is not in school because they are self-isolating, how will their remote education differ from the approaches described above?
All work will still be provided on Google Classrooms, but there will be no live lessons on Google Meet. Teachers will provide lessons and resources which match as closely as possible those which they are teaching in class. When this is not possible, alternative lessons will be provided which match our school’s curriculum aims. Although your class teacher will provide individual feedback and still be available to support your child – this may not be possible at times when they are teaching in class. If you have any urgent issues please contact the school office (0161 921 1865 - press option 4.) and the relevant member of staff will be able to assist you. |
