Online Access Issues
If you experience any issues getting online please contact your year team who will provide assistance.
Teaching Methods
Around 50% of lessons are live lessons (higher for some year groups), taught using MS Teams. For the remainder of lessons blended learning is set which could be other online platforms (such as Seneca or Hegarty Maths), writing, MS Forms, assignments or practical work such as Art.
Engagement
Students are expected to attend all live lessons including assembly at 8.45am. Break and lunch times remain the same as the normal academy day. The day ends slightly earlier at 2.30pm, designed to give students opportunity to do off screen enrichment activities provided as a menu each week.
Staff track attendance at live lessons and also work submitted. Should a student not be engaging parents will receive a phone call from the year team or another member of staff as soon as possible – usually that morning.
Feedback
Feedback will be provided via automatic methods such as quizzes in the blended learning and also questions set in live lessons. Staff will provide feedback on work submitted where appropriate and at least twice a half term. Any concerns please contact the year team in the first instance.
Additional Needs
The SEND team will continue to work with students with additional needs to provide support. Any concerns please contact the year team or key worker.
Work for Isolating Students
When the academy returns any students isolating will be provided with work set by teachers. This will be the same content as covered in that week’s lessons for students.
