Remote Home Learning

Remote learning at Barnes Farm Primary School will only be considered as a last resort when in-person attendance is not possible, or when government guidance advises against it.  

This might include:  

• Occasions when we decide that opening our school is either:  
• Not possible to do safely 
• Contradictory to guidance from local or central government 

 
Where possible, remote education will follow the same curriculum as in-person lessons. However, some subjects, such as science, PE, and technology, may require adjustments due to the lack of specialised equipment at home. To support children remotely, we will employ a variety of approaches, including:  

• Pre-recorded lessons (via platforms such as The Oak Academy, My Maths, PurpleMash, Time Tables Rockstars, Spelling Shed) 
• Resource packs (via Tapesty) 
• Home reading (through books or online texts) 
• Project work 

For students with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities, our Wellbeing Team will maintain regular contact to ensure all necessary support is provided. 

In the case of a closure due to adverse weather or unsafe site conditions, an announcement will be made via SchoolComms as soon as possible.
