This document outlines the remote education provision for Longhill High School. This covers provision for students with online access and provision for those students who do not have online access.

The Recovery Curriculum and Continued Curriculum

Please read Longhill High School’s Recovery & Continued Curriculum document which is an ongoing action plan outlining how we will catch students up with any missed learning and continue to provide stretch and challenge for those who do not have gaps in knowledge or skills.

Home Learning

Longhill High School will:

• Set work for your child for each of their timetabled lessons.
• Paper copies of work have been given to students who have said they do not have internet access.
• Be available remotely to communicate with parents and carers regarding home learning (more information about this is in the last paragraph).

Students will:

• Download gmail on their phone or set up access to gmail via a computer so staff can communicate with students via their school email address in line with our electronic safeguarding policy.
• Regularly check their emails for work, instructions and direction from their subject teachers.
• Complete work set and communicate with their teachers regularly.

Families will:

• Support the child in the family to complete work set.
• Help the young person work differently and maintain motivation throughout this unusual situation.
