\u25cf Students will be expected to follow their usual school timetable.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Work during the class time will vary from subject to subject, depending on what theteacher deems most suitable for the topic being covered. This may include live Zoom classes, pre-recorded Loom classes, assignments on google classroom etc. Not every class will be carried out on Zoom every day in order to give students a break from looking at the screen for extended periods of time.<\/p>\n
\u25cf However, each subject teacher for each exam subject will do at least one zoom class per week to check in with students.<\/p>\n
\u25cf During live classes it is expected that students behave appropriately online, as they would in a classroom setting. Microphones should be switched off when the teacher is speaking and turned on to ask\/answer questions or engage in the class when invited to do so. Cameras should also be switched on by all students.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Teachers will schedule online live classes at least 24hours in advance of the class and will always follow the established school timetable.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Posts on google classroom for each class period will be scheduled to appear for the students at the time they are due to start class. This will help them to schedule their day and follow their ordinary routine as much as possible.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Students should be mindful of email etiquette & communication tone when communicating with teachers as distinct from online communication with peers. For example, address the relevant party at the beginning of email, maintain a polite tone throughout, and sign off as appropriate.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Students should be familiar with the \u201cthree before me\u201d concept and apply this when engaging in online learning. If a query arises; \u201cThree before me\u201d consists of:
\na) Re-read all instructions previously given by the class teacher.
\nb) Ask another individual in the class.
\nc) Post the question onto the class \u2018Team\u2019 page (if available) to allow other members of the class to respond.
\nIf these steps do not provide adequate clarification, the student should then reach out to the teacher.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Non academic classes can be used to give students time to take a break. Teachers may post suggestions of activities for students to carry out to get away from screens. E.g. meditation clip, go for a walk, get fresh air.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Teachers, when working remotely, will on most occasions, try to communicate online during normal working hours and will endeavour not to communicate with students outside of these hours. If teachers are working outside of normal school hours, they will schedule posts \/ emails to be sent within school hours wherever possible.
\nHowever, teachers may have to send material\/ assignments outside of regular school opening hours. In this instance there is no expectation on the student to respond or begin work at the time it is received. Likewise, there is never an expectation on the teacher to have to correct or comment on work sent on outside of normal school hours. Whilst it might suit teachers or students to communicate outside of normal working hours, it is essential that everyone agrees that responses or actions outside of normal working hours are not required.<\/p>\n
\u25cf All members of the school community should turn off notifications outside of their learning\/working hours.<\/p>\n
\u25cf In so far as possible, provision for SEN students will be made when using Remote Learning methodologies.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Any behaviour or language deemed inappropriate during school applies at all times during online learning. The consequences for such behaviour will be the same as if the student was in school.<\/p>\n
\u25cf The criteria for mandated Child Protection reporting remains the same as if the child was being taught in school.<\/p>\n
\u25cf All provisions relating to the child\u2019s data remain the same under GDPR procedures and guidelines.<\/p>\n
\u25cf As per all matters pertaining to our school\u2019s Code of Behaviour, if a student acts in a fashion that is contrary to our code\u2019s expectations, they will receive sanctions in line with the code.<\/p>\n
\u25cf It is expected that all students and teachers will engage as best they can with all efforts at online teaching and learning so as not to be behind when normal school resumes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
