Remote Learning

Priory School has always strived to be creative and innovative, and to support our students, parents, and carers in the most appropriate ways in order to make learning purposeful and engaging. Our strategy for remote learning is in keeping with this philosophy: 

• ensure consistency in the approach to remote learning for all students (inc. SEND) who are not in school, through the use of quality online and offline resources and teaching videos.
• provide clear expectations to members of the school community with regards to the delivery of high quality interactive remote learning.
• maintain continuous delivery of the school curriculum, as well as support for motivation, health and wellbeing, and parents/carers.
• consider continued development for staff and parents/carers (e.g., CPD, online resources).

We take a blended approach to providing remote learning. Resources to deliver this Remote Learning include:
• Online tools: EduLink; Microsoft Teams; School Website.
• Use of instructional videos which are recorded asynchronously.
• Phone calls from school to home for students of concern.
• Printed learning packs are sent home for students who do not have access to a computer and/or internet.
• Physical materials such as writing tools and laptops for students needing support in this regard.
• Lessons delivered live via Teams as part of a remote lessons timetable. 

Priory School is committed to working in close partnership with families and recognises that each family is unique. Because of this, remote learning will look different for different families in order to suit their individual needs.
