Remote Learning

Remote Learning Offer

Should children need to self-isolate, you can find our remote learning offer below and our Remote Learning Policy here.

We want to stress that the work provided is recommended but your wellbeing and the wellbeing of your child is the priority in these challenging days; you can only do what you can do.

We do the best that we can to ensure that all children can access the online learning however if you require support with this or would prefer physical copies of the work, please contact the school.

Please contact the school if you have any suggestions for our remote learning provision.

Seesaw

At Alderman Richard Hallam Primary School, we use Seesaw in class, for homework and for our remote learning offer. Below you can find a simple user guide and Miss Ellis has created a video which demonstrates exactly how to use Seesaw. Please don't hesitate to contact the school if you need any support in accessing or using this software.

Home Learning

From this page, you will find links to each year group's home learning. These activites were uploaded during the period of school closure but can be used if your child is self-isolating and you would like extra resources to support their learning at home.

• If you find the work is too easy or challenging for your child, please feel free to use the home learning resources for a different year group. Each year group has an email address that you can contact if you have any queries, concerns or need any help.
• Below, you can find links to lots of wonderful websites and additional home learning opportunities.
• Home learning resources to support your child's emotional wellbeing and mental health can be found on the Mental Health section of our website.
