Assigning Work and Feedback
Assignments should be set via Google Classroom, irrespective of the platform to be used.
Work is to be assigned following students school timetable, with a timely hand in date.
A hand in date is to be used so students can use the Google Classroom 'to do list' to organise themselves.
Written feedback on assignments will be given on a minimum fortnightly basis for KS3/KS4 and a minimum of weekly for KS5.
Pastoral
Tutors will make group live contact with tutees at 11am daily via Teams, Zoom or Google Meet.
Students attendance at these sessions will be monitored.
Students will complete a range of activities focussing on organisation and wellbeing over the lockdown period.
Subject teachers to keep a record of students not accessing assignments or attending live sessions.
Each subject area has outlined the content of their courses across all years as well as highlighted useful websites and online resources on their curriculum pages. This can be accessed via Subject Information.
Each of your child’s classes also has an online space on Google Classroom where they are able to contact their teacher.
