Remote Education

At Denmark Road, we are committed to ensuring that students can continue their learning, stay connected with their teachers and friends, and receive the support they need if remote learning is ever required.

While we hope that full remote learning will rarely be needed, we have plans in place to provide a positive, engaging and well-rounded experience that includes academic lessons, pastoral support and opportunities for enrichment.

If a student is unable to attend school for a period of time, they can access learning resources through Microsoft Teams and other online platforms used by Denmark Road. Teachers may provide work electronically and, where appropriate, students can submit completed work online for feedback.

For longer periods of absence, additional support can be provided to help students stay on track with their learning.

Should remote learning ever be necessary, students will continue to follow a structured timetable designed to provide consistency and routine. Lessons will be delivered through Microsoft Teams and online learning platforms, helping students remain connected to their teachers and classmates.

Students can expect:

  • Regular live contact with teachers.
  • Clear instructions and resources for each lesson.
  • A mix of teacher-led learning and independent activities.
  • Opportunities to ask questions, receive feedback and work collaboratively with others.
  • Continued pastoral support and tutor contact.

Remote learning will combine live teaching, guided independent work and collaborative activities, depending on the subject and learning objectives.

Teachers may:

  • Deliver live lessons.
  • Introduce tasks and then support students as they work independently.
  • Facilitate discussions and group activities.
  • Provide feedback and answer questions throughout the lesson.

Where appropriate, lessons may also include quizzes, presentations, research tasks and practical activities that can be completed at home.

Students will continue to study a broad and balanced curriculum, with adjustments made where necessary for subjects that normally rely on specialist facilities or equipment.

Attendance, engagement and progress will continue to be monitored, and regular feedback will help students understand how they are progressing and what they can do next to improve.

Supporting wellbeing remains a priority during any period of remote learning.

Students will have opportunities to:

  • Contact teachers for help and guidance.
  • Raise concerns with tutors or pastoral staff.
  • Access mentoring and wellbeing support where needed.
  • Stay connected with their form group and wider school community.

Additional support will be provided for students who may face barriers to learning at home, including those with special educational needs.

Where possible, extracurricular activities will continue online. Clubs, societies, performances, competitions and enrichment opportunities can help students stay engaged, maintain friendships and support their overall wellbeing.

Our aim is to ensure that every student remains connected, supported and able to make good progress, whatever the circumstances.
