Teachers will be accessible to children through Google Classroom and Class Dojo.

When children would normally receive support from SEND agencies, SENDCo will make arrangements for those to continue via Google Meets or telephone, as long as the agencies and parents are able to engage.

Completed work should be shared through Google Classroom, e.g. using photos, google docs, google slides, pdfs, videos, etc.

Teachers will provide feedback regularly. Children needing extra support may be directed to a Google Meet conducted by a teacher or teaching assistant.

In the event of teachers becoming ill, senior staff will be required to take over the responsibility for the isolating children. When this is the case, daily contact may not be possible, however links to online learning will be shared and engagement would remain compulsory.
