Remote Learning at Cambridge Park Academy

At Cambridge Park, our priority is high‑quality, face‑to‑face education. If in‑person attendance is not possible for some or all pupils, we will provide remote education as a short‑term, last‑resort measure so that learning can continue.

1) When We Will Provide Remote Education

We will activate remote learning when:

The school (or a part of it) cannot open safely—for example, severe weather or other emergencies.
Individual pupils are unable to attend but are well enough to learn from home (e.g., short‑term medical reasons or infectious illness).

In these circumstances we aim to make remote education available as soon as reasonably practicable.

Where needed, we will provide learning equivalent in length to core teaching pupils would receive in school, proportionate to the duration of absence.

Please note that online video lessons may not be recorded by school staff. High-quality lessons from external providers, such as Oak National Academy, may be used instead.

2) How to Access Remote Learning

Platforms: We use Google classroom for live lessons, share learning activities and provide feedback. Pupil logins are issued by the school. If you experience any problems with access or passwords, please contact the school office. We may also use trusted external providers, such as Oak National Academy, to support learning.
Devices & Internet: If your child does not have suitable access, please contact us about loan devices, printed packs or other support. We will work with families to remove barriers wherever possible.
Paper‑based learning: For families who need it, printed learning materials can be provided. We will arrange safe collection and return where required.

3) Safeguarding and Online Safety

Remote education will follow our Safeguarding Policy and Online Safety / Acceptable Use guidance. We ask parents to support safe, quiet learning spaces and to supervise younger pupils during live sessions. (See our policies on the Policies page.) Delivering remote education safely is central to our approach.

4) Support for Pupils With SEND

Teachers will adapt tasks, resources and delivery to meet individual needs, in consultation with the SENDCo and families. This may include alternative formats, shorter inputs, structured routines, or additional adult check‑ins. Please contact the SENDCo if you require specific adjustments.

5) Curriculum, Feedback and Assessment

Curriculum: We continue to teach a broad and balanced curriculum. Sequences mirror in‑school learning as far as possible so pupils can re‑join seamlessly.
Feedback: Teachers provide feedback through Teams or via phone for paper packs. Whole‑class feedback may be used where appropriate.
Assessment & adapting teaching: Staff use submitted work, quizzes and check‑ins to identify misconceptions and adapt subsequent lessons.

6) Attendance, Engagement and Welfare

Engagement checks: We monitor daily engagement and follow up where pupils need support.
Welfare: If we have concerns about a pupil’s wellbeing, we will contact parents/carers and, where necessary, involve the safeguarding team. (See Safeguarding Policy.)
Reporting absence: If your child is unwell and cannot engage with remote learning, please inform the school in the usual way.

8) Roles and Responsibilities (Summary)

Senior Leaders for Remote Education: Phase Leaders (see meet the team section)

Class Teachers: Set and assess work, provide feedback, and adapt teaching.

Parents/Carers: Support routine, encourage engagement, and contact us if access is an issue.
