Remote Learning
Whilst we hope that we do not have to return to remote learning, it may be of interest for you to know how this is implemented across Archway schools when needed.
If learning needs to take place remotely, lessons will take place via Microsoft Teams and follow a normal timetable of 5 lessons each day. We have easy to follow guides to get you started. Every lessons is delivered by a subject specialist to your normal class. There will be a mixture of teacher delivery, assignments, quizzes and ways to check your understanding. This will help you to continue developing your independent learning skills and ensure that you don’t fall behind with your studies. It will also help with your mental wellbeing by giving you a focus. There are times in the week where we plan for a screen break. This could be through reading, physical fitness challenges or completing an art project.
The school will also support any families who do not have the equipment needed to access remote learning.
Even though we are not in the school building, the expectations that teachers have of you will be high:
- You must be on time to all of your online lessons (logged in and waiting in the lobby for the teacher to let you in)
- You must follow instructions – e.g. turn on your camera, mute your microphone when not needed, sit in an appropriate place, contribute to the lesson, and complete the work/assignments set
- You must behave appropriately – remember you are being recorded, and you can still earn positives and warnings/negative points in these lessons in the same way as in school
- You should work hard and make the most of each lesson. Be resilient – do not let current events stop you from making the most of your education.
We understand that you may not have access to a computer all the time or might need to share it with others. If you are sharing a device, please inform your Year Leader, who will then provide the necessary support to enable you to access your lessons. You should always email your teacher and Year Leader in advance to let them know if you will not be able to attend a lesson, and catch up with work missed using the lesson resources provided and completing work set by the teacher.
Under no circumstances should students record lessons. The Long Eaton School is the data controller of all online lessons which are provided through school platforms and therefore it is an offence for students to record and/or share any lessons without the consent of the Academy, under section 170 of the Data Protection Act 2018. If you are aware of anyone filming or posting recordings from lessons, the school must be informed immediately.
