Home Learning

In line with Department for Education (DfE) guidance on Remote Education, Wheelwright Lane Primary School is committed to ensuring that pupils who are unable to attend school—such as those with health or medical needs that prevent in‑person attendance—continue to access high‑quality learning at home.

​

Our Remote Learning provision supports continuity of education by providing structured, age‑appropriate learning activities, regular feedback, and ongoing communication with teaching staff. We aim to ensure that all children remain engaged, make progress, and feel part of our school community, even when learning from home.

​

How We Deliver Remote Learning

​

Teaching staff use online platforms to provide weekly learning opportunities for all year groups.

• Class Dojo is used for all children across nursery and primary school

• Purple Mash is used for pupils through their welearn pupil account

• Timestable Rockstars which all pupils at Wheelwright Lane primary school have access to. 

​

Our Remote Learning offer includes:

• Downloadable learning resources and activities that can be accessed at any time

• Learning set and reviewed by class teachers

• Regular feedback and celebration of pupils’ work

• Staff availability to support pupils and parents

​

Support for Pupils Without Digital Access

We recognise that some children may not have consistent access to online devices or the internet. In these cases, we provide printed work packs and learning materials, which can be collected or delivered to families as needed.

Technical Support

​Our IT technician is available to support families with any technical difficulties, including accessing online platforms or setting up devices. Please contact the school office if you require assistance.
