Remote Learning

At Aylesham School, we are committed to providing a high-quality education for all our pupils, even in the event of partial or full school closures. Our Aylesham MIND values - Motivation, Integrity, Nurture, Diversity - guide our approach to remote learning, ensuring that our pupils continue to feel supported and engaged in their learning journey.

Blended Approach to Remote Learning 

In the event of a partial or full school closure of more than a couple of days, we will use a blended approach to remote learning, combining live lessons via Google Classroom as well as engaging activities posted on our school website. This approach allows us to stay connected with our pupils while also providing flexible learning that can fit around family routines.  

Live Lessons 

Our teachers will deliver some short, interactive lessons through Google Classroom, enabling our pupils to receive direct teaching, ask questions, and interact with their peers.   

Online Activities 

Complementing the live lessons, we will also post a range of engaging activities and resources on our school website. These may include:

• pre-recorded videos,
• interactive worksheets,
• links to online learning platforms,
• creative projects.

Supporting Our Families 

We understand that remote learning can present unique challenges for families. If you have any questions or need support, please contact your child's class teacher via the class email address, or our special educational needs coordinator (SENDCO).

Belonging and Wellbeing 

At the heart of our remote learning approach is the belief that our pupils should continue to feel a strong sense of belonging to our school community. In the event of a prolonged school closure, we will provide:

• virtual check-ins,
• online assemblies,
• opportunities for children to connect socially.

Our aim is to maintain the warm, nurturing environment that makes Aylesham special.By taking a flexible, responsive, and supportive approach to remote learning, we aim to help our pupils live out our Aylesham MIND even in the face of unexpected circumstances. We remain committed to providing the very best education and support so children can Dig Deep and Expand their Minds.
