This information is to be used as a general guide for parents/carers for remote learning for their child as and when it is required. Lowther Endowed School will be providing remote education using Google Classroom and its associated apps.

Google Classroom

Self-Isolation

If your child is self-isolating and well:-

• On the first day of isolating, after informing school, if your child is not ill themselves, they should go onto Google Classroom and complete any outstanding homework, catch up with reading, and either use some Bitesize lessons or Oak Academy (links below) appropriate for their age group.  Alternatively they could do some research on their current topic and write about it or prepare a slideshow on Google Slides to share with their teacher and class.

• The class teacher will then send work at the end of the first day of isolation (and each day until return to school) via Google Classroom, which the class have been completing in class through the use of Google Slides, Google Docs (worksheets) and any links to websites including BBC Bitesize, Oak Academy and Purple Mash.  If possible, Power Maths books will be sent home to complete sections as identified by the class teacher (these must returned immediately on return to school).

• The class teacher will be available via email or by telephone at the end of the school day if support is needed.  The school office can be contacted if support with Google Classroom is required.

Our school recognises that some pupils with additional needs, may not be able to access remote education without the support of an adult at home.  Our SENCo will get in touch with you if your child has SEND to support you with this.  we encourage you to get in contact with school if your child is struggling with any aspects of home learning at the earliest opportunity.

If you do not have internet access at home or access to a device, the packs below should be used. Please contact the school if you need any packs printing.
