RESOURCES

Despite the easing of the lockdown restrictions, we recognise that there will be times when pupils will still be required to self-isolate at home.  So that we can continue to provide high quality education to all our pupils, online learning via the Microsoft Teams platform will continue.  Every lesson taught in school will also be streamed on MSTeams.  We will also continue to use learning platforms including Hegarty Maths, Tassomai, ActiveLearn and GCSEpod to support pupils’ independent learning.

A Parent and Pupil User Guide for MSTeams can be found within the documents below.  Please also click here to access information regarding Microsoft 365 learning.

We have the same high expectations of pupils’ behaviour when they are learning remotely as we do when they are learning in school.  All pupils have been taught the protocols for working online and staying safe. We have includes tips for staying safe online within the document section below.

Codes of conduct for remote learning are included in the Remote Learning Policy which can be viewed in the Policies and Procedures section. We have also provided information for parents and carers regarding remote learning.

Pupils have already been provided with information on how to access MS Teams and should follow their normal timetable.

Where pupils are isolating and when they are well enough to do so, we expect that pupils will spend the same amount of time working on a remote education day as they would in school.  This is because they will be following the usual school timetable for their lessons and completing independent learning and homework.

If your child does not have access to a device and/or the internet, please contact reception on 01274 681455 or via info@tong.staracademies.org and we will do our best to support you.

Covid Wellbeing

We know that most of us have been affected by Coronavirus somehow and in some way. Community Action Bradford have put together a leaflet (found in the section below), which provides information on the support available to families at this time. It includes information regarding financial and emotion support, anxiety and mental health support and food and fuel poverty etc.
