Home Learning
Following the recent Government announcement regarding school closures, we have created resources to support and encourage home learning opportunities and established plans for pupil: teacher contact during these difficult times. Our Remote Learning Plan can be viewed by clicking here.
- Each teacher will make email contact every Monday to set tasks for pupils in their class.
- Teachers will then email again on Wednesday to touch base and check in on pupils.
- We will expect pupils to email their teachers at least once a week to let them know that tasks have been completed and if they have any questions.
- We will provide pupils with their homework books for recording any work that they do at home. In addition to this we will be sending a new home learning exercise book for your child to use.
- We expect that children will continue to read, practise spelling and times tables and in addition complete all tasks set.
- All pupils (Y1-6) have access to our Learning Platform - DBPrimary (this will work on mobile phones, tablets and laptops) and have had experience in using this resource. You can access the Learning Platform via the school website (link - bottom right corner of home page). Click here for a Parent Guide to the platform
We acknowledge that increased use of digital technology does not come without risks. Sites used with pupils are carefully chosen for their educational content and are compliant with GDPR regulations. You may wish to talk to your child around digital safety or look at your device settings. Click here to see a selection of sites with resources and information that may help.
Weblinks
In addition to DBprimary, we have set up a series of weblinks for each Key Stage. These are presented on a 'Padlet' (digital noticeboard) which can be accessed by clicking on the links below. In the event of pupils needing to self isolate in the future, staff will email pupils tasks to do on specific sites and will ask for an email or DBPrimary entry to share their learning.
If you have any questions about any of the tasks pupils have been set please email your child's teacher or the admin team.

Learning Agreement
Without knowing how long the school closures may last we have put together some guidelines that you may find helpful in developing positive learning at home. It is important to maintain a balance of funtime, down times, family times, screen time and learning times - not an easy thing to do. A learning agreement may help to create a positive routine.
