You are here: Remote Learning - Remote Education January 2021
Where pupils are isolating when school is open, remote learning can be accessed by going to the curriculum tab on the Academy website, choosing the corresponding year group and half term option from the drop-down menu and then subject they need to complete work for. When isolating, pupils should try and follow their normal school timetable where possible, completing tasks throughout the day and sending work to their teachers through Show my Homework or via email.
Following government and DfE guidance to close schools in January 2021, online/remote learning has become the main avenue to continue teaching and learning for the coming months. Subject content is created to support academic and pastoral study, in line with our curriculum, and to keep pupils connected and engaged in their learning. Online learning materials include quizzes and recall activities that activate and test prior learning and knowledge in addition to online materials and activities that introduce new information.
At Castleford Academy, we are using a blend of both live and pre recorded video lessons for remote learning. All online/remote learning activities will need to be accessed through the Show My Homework platform. These resources and platforms have been specifically chosen to allow access to resources at any time, as we are aware that pupils may have to share electronic devices with others siblings or parents working from home throughout the day.
We would expect pupils to complete all of the work set on Show My Homework so they can continue to develop and consolidate their knowledge and skills whilst at home. Pupils must also send any work that needs to be marked and fed back upon to their teacher to ensure understanding and inform future teaching.
