Remote Education For Isolating Pupils

Where individual pupils need to self-isolate but the majority of their peer group remains in school, the pupil will continue to complete learning in line with the curriculum. Lessons will be set on Class Charts as per the pupil’s normal academy timetable. The lesson will incorporate video content (By means of teacher recording or use of the National Oak Academy) to deliver new content and worksheets will provide clear structure, guidance and expectations for what pupils must complete independently. All completed learning must be submitted on Class Charts where feedback will be provided by class teachers.

We recognise that some pupils may not have suitable online access at home. We take the following approaches to support those pupils to access remote education:

• We will provide a laptop for the isolation period.
• Where we have the provision, we will provide devices that enable an internet connection.
• Where the above are not available, we will provide a printed work pack which covers all subjects and runs concurrently with curriculum. In this instance, the work pack must be returned upon the pupil’s return to the Academy for teacher assessment, marking and feedback.

To access the provisions above, please contact the academy on 0113 2731964 or send an e mail to info@leedseastacademy.org.uk

Remote Learning 

All remote learning can be accessed through Class Charts. 

All children have received a pupil and parent login code for Class Charts. Class Charts can be accessed through the Internet or by downloading the app on to a Smartphone. 

Guidance for parents can be accessed here: Class Charts Parental Guidance 

Work is set daily for every year group to support all pupils who are isolating.  Content is in line with the curriculum that pupils would be studying were they in school.

The lessons can also be used to consolidate the learning taking place in school each day, acting as an excellent home-learning resource to deepen understanding. 

Parents can use the login provided to track the work that has been set for their child. 

Log in to Class Charts here:  www.classcharts.com  

The lessons set use Microsoft PowerPoint and Word documents.  Pupils will need to complete learning on the word document and upload their completed work to be assessed by teachers.

Microsoft Office can be downloaded for free by accessing the following link and entering your child’s school login information: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/education/products/office

Each year group has a set timetable for remote learning that reflects the number of lessons they study of each subject.  The timetables can be viewed below.
