Remote education should only ever be considered as a last resort where a decision has already been made that attendance at school is not possible, but pupils are able to continue learning.

At St Bartholomew’s, we believe that high attendance is clearly linked to high performance.  Being in school is our priority for all our learners. We will only use remote education in exceptional circumstances, including school closures or restrictions on attendance, where whole school access for pupils is restricted or individual cases where a pupil is unable to attend school but is able to learn.

We use Google Classroom for remote learning at St Bartholomew’s and do so in line with the current Government non-statutory guidance.
