Ickford School

Covid - 19 Remote Learning Provision

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Ickford School is trying its best to ensure that every child still receives an education in line with its aims and mission statement.

Our provision for remote learning is based on the recognition that not every family has equal access to electronic devices or an Internet connection suitable to solely web based activities and virtual classrooms.

Differentiation

Teachers differentiate tasks and challenges accordingly and extension work is provided on learning activity plans each day. Children in the same year group may also have different Numeracy text books.

Learning Support Register

There are a number of children who for a variety of reasons may receive some support with their learning above the normal Class Teacher provision. Each child has an individual Support Plan and some have an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP). During lockdown periods, we aim to offer in-school provision for children with an EHCP but we work in partnership with parents when making any decisions in the best interest of the individual child. Other children on the Learning Support Register may or may not receive in-school provision according to the needs of the parents and the child.

Home learning  activities for children who would normally receive support in the classroom is differentiated to suit their needs. 

The families of children on the register are contacted regularly throughout lockdown periods to check up on progress and engagement.

Children who self-isolate or shield after a return to school based learning

If, for any Covid-19 related reason, a child has to self -isolate or stay away from school in order to protect a vulnerable family member, then learning activity provision for home schooling continues as described above.

Virtual Classrooms

At times, teachers may arrange a 'Class Meet' using Zoom.

Vimeo

Class teachers may use our Vimeo Platform to record story telling or video messages for the children.

Class teachers may also use Vimeo as a platform for pre-recorded lessons.
