Remote Learning
Remote education provision: information for parents and carers
In accordance with statutory guidelines, the Department for Education (DfE) ask that schools provide information on remote education provision. It is aligned to the expectations for remote education, to which schools must have regard under the temporary continuity direction given by the Secretary of State for Education. This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils, parents and carers about what to expect from remote education if Covid-19 local restrictions require them to remain at home and/or if they need to self-isolate.
Please find below a statement for parents to show how OSSMA is approaching remote learning both during a full lockdown and when students are self-isolating:
