Remote education at The Beaulieu Park will only be considered as a last resort when in-person attendance is not possible, or when government guidance advises against it.  

This might include:  
●    Occasions when we decide that opening our school is either:  
○    Not possible to do safely 
○ Contradictory to guidance from local or central government 
 
●    Rare occasions when individual pupils, for a limited duration, are unable to physically attend school but are able to continue learning, for example because:   
○    They have an infectious illness 
○ They are preparing for or recovering from some types of operation 
○ They are recovering from injury and attendance in school may inhibit such recovery.  

The school will consider providing pupils with remote education on a case-by-case basis should one or more of the above bullet points apply. The final decision as to whether a pupil is eligible for remote education lies with the head of school. 
In the limited circumstances when remote learning is used, we will: 

●    Gain mutual agreement of remote education by the school, parents/carers, pupils, and if appropriate, a relevant medical professional. If the pupil has an education, health and care (EHC) plan or social worker, the local authority (LA) will also be involved in the decision 
●    Put formal arrangements in place to regularly review it and identify how to reintegrate the pupil back into school 
●    Identify what other support and flexibilities can be put in place to help reintegrate the pupil back into school at the earliest opportunity  
●    Set a time limit with an aim that the pupil returns to in-person education with appropriate support 

Remote education will not be used as a justification for sending pupils home due to misbehaviour. This would count as a suspension, even if the pupil is asked to access online education while suspended. 
The Beaulieu Park will implement remote education strictly as a short-term measure, only when students are unable to attend school in person. 

Where possible, remote education will follow the same curriculum as in-person lessons. However, some subjects, such as science, PE, and technology, may require adjustments due to the lack of specialised equipment at home. To support students remotely, we will employ a variety of approaches, including:  
●    Pre-recorded lessons (via platforms such as The Oak Academy, Sparks Maths) 
●    Resource packs (via Google classroom) 
●    Home reading (through books or online texts) 
●    Project work 

For students with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities, our SENCO, second in charge of SEND, or learning support assistants will maintain regular contact to ensure all necessary support is provided. 

In the event of a school closure, students are required to log into Google Classroom to access assignments from staff. All students have been shown how to access Google Classroom. If your child lacks suitable online access, please contact the appropriate Head of Year for assistance. 

In the case of a closure due to adverse weather or unsafe site conditions, an announcement will be made on the school website and social media platforms by 7:30am. Where necessary, parents/carers will also be informed via text message or phone call.
