Remote Education

Welford Primary School has always strived to be supportive of our community by building good home-school partnerships and making learning purposeful, engaging and accessible to everyone. Our strategy for remote learning continues this.

Attendance is essential for pupils to get the most out of their school experience, including for their attainment, wellbeing, and wider life chances. Remote education should not be viewed as an equal alternative to attendance in school. For this reason, we expect schools to consider it only as a last resort when the alternative would be no education, and only after it has been established that the pupil is, or will be, absent from school. In such cases, remote education can have the benefit of allowing absent pupils to keep on track with their education and stay connected to their teachers and peers.

We have recently acquired a resource that supports an identified child over a prolonged amount of time to have a virtual presence in class. These children are identified and supported by our SENDco, inclusion team and staff within the classroom. This program is called No Isolation - Click the link here for more details. No Isolation
