Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, schools have been expected to provide remote learning for children who are not able to attend school. During the pandemic, we adapted our approach to ensure that we were offering the highest quality remote learning we could and that we were meeting all DfE Remote Learning Requirements. Whilst we hope there will be no further national lockdowns, we continue to offer remote learning provision if circumstances require it. 

At St Giles’ and St George’s, we set our remote learning via Class dojo for all children. Children have individual log-ins and are able to access assignments set by their teachers on a daily basis. Teachers are able to send children documents to support their learning or include links to external websites. It is also possible to upload short videos to support learning. 

Children are set learning tasks daily related to the curriculum subjects being taught in school and there is an expectation that those tasks are completed, wherever possible, within the hours of a normal school day. This allows teachers to provide feedback to children and consider the next steps in their learning for the following day.
