Remote and Blended Learning
Our education provision will continue should we be required to close in an emergency or in the event of a lockdown.
All of our plans are based around our teaching staff being able to deliver lessons using Microsoft Teams, either directly from their own home, or from within our academy, depending on their individual circumstances. These lessons would be broadcast to all the students in the class, whether they are attending the academy or remote learning at home. We want to ensure that all students can excel and engage in their learning, whether working in the academy or from home.
Information for Parents
This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency for students, parents and carers about what to expect from remote education if local restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home.
For details of what to expect where individual students are self-isolating, please see the final section of this document.

Training and guidance
Teachers use Microsoft TEAMS to share lessons and resources, and to enable students to submit work remotely. Students have been provided with training in Microsoft TEAMS and 365 and we have included ‘How to guides’ on the website.
There are also video guides for further assistance on using the features within Teams, you may want to watch the videos listed below.
