Remote Education

At Lambley Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that all of our pupils continue to receive high-quality education, regardless of any disruptions to normal school routines. Whether due to temporary school closures, isolation periods, or other unforeseen circumstances, we aim to provide a seamless learning experience for all our pupils through remote education.

It is important to stress that for short-term illness (e.g. 2 day sickness bug), we will not send work home or apply our remote education plan. If a child is too unwell to attend school, our priority is that they rest, are well cared for, and return to school fit, healthy, and ready to learn.

For longer-term absences due to injury or medical need, our remote education plan will be applied once the child is well enough to access and engage with it.

We believe that remote learning should be engaging, effective, and supportive. Our goal is to ensure that children continue to make progress in their learning while working from home, with access to the same curriculum and opportunities as they would in the classroom.

We are committed to making remote learning as engaging and interactive as possible, providing opportunities for children to ask questions, collaborate with their peers, and enjoy a well-rounded educational experience.

To ensure that our pupils can continue to learn effectively at home, we utilise a number of trusted tools and platforms. These tools allow pupils to access lessons, interact with their teachers, and submit their work:

Class Dojo/Tapestry and class teacher email address: If your child encounters any issues with online learning or needs to submit work directly to their teacher, Dojo/Tapestry or email is always a reliable form of communication.

We understand that remote learning can be a new experience for both pupils and parents, which is why we’ve compiled a list of helpful resources to support you. These websites offer a range of educational materials, interactive lessons, and support tools that can enhance your child’s learning experience. There are also year group specific recommended sites on your child’s class page

Each class has it’s own class page with information and links. The website all has useful phonics videos, long-term plans for the curriculum and a virtual library.

We also encourage pupils to share their successes, creative work, and any challenges they might be facing. We will continue to celebrate their achievements and offer help as needed.

Thank you for your continued support. We are committed to ensuring that our pupils receive the best education possible, no matter where they are learning.
