1. Aims
This policy is to ensure the ongoing education of Campion School pupils under unusual circumstances. This
policy covers closures that could happen at any time and the provision of ongoing education of pupils who
cannot be in school but are able to continue with their education while the school remains fully open.
• This remote learning policy for staff aims to:
• Ensure consistency in the approach to remote learning for pupils who aren’t in school
• Set out expectations for all members of the school community with regards to remote learning
• Provide appropriate guidelines for data protection
Preparing for Remote Learning
We would expect that many of the steps below should already be in place with most staff within The Campion
School. We would expect that there will be future benefits to putting these plans into place. The Campion
School will be proactive in ensuring that:
• Staff have access to Moodle, Microsoft Teams, Doddle and SAM Learning and ensure all classes are
configured.
• Pupils within classes have access to the relevant Moodle and Teams classes
• Pupils in years 7 and 12 will receive an induction in how to use Moodle. Years 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 will
continue to use the platforms as they did in the previous academic year.
• Staff are familiar with the main functions of Moodle and Microsoft Teams
• Staff have the ability to host a Teams Meetings and/or produce video demonstrations using Loom or
uploaded to The Campion School private YouTube channel.
• Parents and pupils are made aware in advance of the arrangements in place for the continuity of
education, through student guides.
22. Roles and responsibilities
Remote Learning at the Campion School is overseen by the Deputy Headteacher for Teaching and Learning,
the Assistant Headteacher with responsibilities for Remote Learning and the Remote Learning Team with
responsibilities for Moodle, Doddle, Microsoft Teams and SAM learning. This will be supported by the Pastoral
Heads of Year, Subject Leaders, Teachers and Teaching Assistants
All staff should ensure that they:
• Have received appropriate training and can use the designated school platforms.
• That their computer-based teaching resources are available outside of school
• That they have access to key resources not available online at home e.g. key textbooks
• Are using their school laptop and have ensured that necessary updates have been made so that they
can access and use the designated school platforms.
2.1 Teachers
If staff are unable to work for any reason during this time, for example due to sickness or caring for a
dependent, they should report this using the normal absence procedure.
When providing remote learning, teachers are responsible for:
• Setting work for their classes that is equivalent to the length of their lesson
• Setting work in advance of the lesson
• Setting work that all students can access
• Work must be uploaded to Moodle, but can sign post students to use alternative platforms
• Setting assignments in line with The Campion School Assessment Policy. In context of remote learning,
assignments can be uploaded to Moodle and staff must provide timely and helpful feedback.
• Assessing student knowledge though low stake quizzes via Moodle and/or SAM learning
• Providing a channel for direct contact with students via the messaging function on Moodle
• Providing some teacher-student contact through either live lesson, using of Microsoft Teams, or pre-
recorded video demonstrations.
• Referring lack of student engagement to Subject Leader and Head of Year to ensure early intervention.
