Remote / Online Learning

This section is for information and is updated from time to time if new information becomes available.

In the event of a full or partial closure, the school is committed to providing continuity of education to its students and will do so through a process of remote (online) learning.

THS Remote Learning Policy

All remote learning provision, including homework, will be provided via the Microsoft Teams platform.

Please click here for full guidance regarding Microsoft Teams. MS Teams will enable us to streamline all aspects of school provision through one, central online platform ensuring that expectations are clear for staff, parents and students.

We will use MS Teams to share resources and, where necessary, direct students to other relevant platforms. The school would like to thank parents and carers for the tremendous support and understanding you have shown us, and the way in which you have embraced this new way of working.

Access to all the key IT services offered by the school can be found by visiting the IT Services pages on this website. These include:

Microsoft Teams
Remote Desktops
Email
School portal
Next Cloud

For help with using any of these services, please visit the relevant help pages linked on the services page.

Students Self Isolating

Students who are required to self-isolate will access the school curriculum via Microsoft Teams. Self –isolating students will have full access to their teachers via Teams. Teaching staff will upload assignments to ensure these students have:

Meaningful and ambitious work each day in a number of different subjects.
Access to a well-sequenced curriculum so that knowledge and skills are built incrementally, with a good level of clarity about what is intended to be taught and practiced in each subject.
Frequent and clear explanations of new content, delivered by a teacher in the school or through high quality curriculum resources.
A programme that is of equivalent length to the core teaching pupils would receive in school.

Partial Closure

In the event of a class/year group bubble being asked to self-isolate, THS will:

Ensure teaching staff deliver a blend of live lessons and pre-recorded material from school for students to access remotely via Microsoft Teams

Full Closure

In the event of a full closure:

Teachers will deliver the curriculum and lessons remotely via Microsoft Teams, using a blend of live live and pre-recorded material as appropriate.
Assignment work will be set as per timetable and follow the same curriculum content as would be delivered in school. Assignment/Assessments will be accessible to students without the need for additional adult input. We will provide frequent, clear explanations of new content through high quality curriculum resources, and/or pre-made videos eg. MyMaths, Seneca, Bitesize and Oak Academy resources, where they align with the school curriculum.
