Excellence in remote learning

Remote learning has been a challenge for everyone, with our school being no exception. However, our teachers are constantly pivoting to try to improve how students learn from home by adjusting their teaching style accordingly.  Sometimes ongoing changes have been frustrating, but I understand the reason for the school leadership’s focus on the continuous improvement of the way it supports it’s students.   

Thanks to Microsoft Teams, leadership meetings have taken place regularly over the past few month where all our school captains and some SRC members are able to share their own personal experience of remote learning and give feedback from other students. The online meetings have really opened up opportunities to discuss the student’s voice, about their education and how they think learning at home could be improved. It also allows captains to have more of a say in how they think the area they overlook can still go on even with restrictions. 

Recently, captains have been allowed to have their own house and specialist meetings to discuss in more detail how the group they lead can be helped. Feedback or advice from students regarding remote learning will be raised in these meetings and discussed and implemented by captains and teachers.
