our Remote education offer

It is likely that at some point this year the pandemic will mean that some or all of our pupils will be unable to attend school. To make sure their learning suffers as little as possible during these times
we’ve planned the following approach based on guidance from the DfE of what worked best in schools during the first lockdown.

At Salterlee the headteacher, Mark Scott is responsible for leading remote learning.

Safeguarding remote learning

During either partial of full-school closures we will try to deliver our remote learning offer as set out above. To help keep everyone as safe as possible whilst doing this we've created the following two guidance sheets:

Safeguarding Remote Learning: Guide for Parents

Safeguarding Remote Learning: Guide for Staff

COVID-19 CATCH-UP PREMIUM

To help our pupils make up for the time they lost last year we have implemented a three tiered plan based on a model provided by the Education Endowment Foundation.

This tiered approach means increasing the number of 1 to 1 and small group interventions. These will only be effective when the school is not being impacted by staffing shortages as the wider safety of pupils across school will remain the prime consideration in staff deployment.

We have used our Covid 19 Catch-up premium (£8,400) to cover the cost of this. It is our intention that the gaps in learning of targeted pupils will be significantly narrowed by Easter 2021. 

FREE SCHOOL MEALs

INFORMATION & support

www.openmindscalderdale.org.uk

Feeling concerned or overwhelmed by the news around coronavirus (COVID-19) is understandable, especially for those children and young people struggling with their mental health or a physical illness. They may be worried about their own health, or someone in their family, or what impact the virus will have on life as a whole.

A section has been created on Open Minds, Calderdale’s emotional health and wellbeing website where children, young people, parents, carers, family members, school staff and colleagues can find tips, support, advice and information about looking after yourself in these uncertain times.
