Remote learning - Helpful Information and Links

St Francis aims to continue to provide an ambitious and broad curriculum in all subjects.

We have extensive plans for the provision of remote education where needed and to ensure that the small number of children that need to be educated at home, for example, due to shielding or self-isolation, are given the support they need to continue learning.

Remote education, where needed, is of a high quality and aligns as closely as possible with in-school provision.

Please email your child's class teacher if you need support to log in to Google Classroom (KS1 and KS2) to access your child's learning in the event of a bubble closure. Letters and emails have been sent out regarding this.

Tapestry will be used for our Reception classes which parents and carers already have access to.

If your child is self-isolating at any point they will be provided with a two-week pack of learning that can be returned to the class teacher after their isolation ends.
