Online Learning Plan
Online learning
This is a new and exciting time for St Barnabas. We are working hard to implement a number of new strategies to develop and increase our capacity for online and home based learning. We are planning for a range of circumstances to ensure that children receive their opportunity to learn when they are unable to attend school.
Home learning packs
If a child is well but has to remain at home whilst waiting for a test or is well but required to self-isolate for two weeks, a home learning pack can be requested by contacting the school office. Packs will be sent out by post to your home address.
Software and online platforms
If a school bubble is self-isolating because of an outbreak of Coronavirus, teachers will set appropriate work in line with our current curriculum, supplemented by a range of trusted resources and online platforms. In these circumstances, an online timetable for each year group can be found in Online Class Pages.
UPDATE January 2021 School Closure
Following the Government announcement on 4th January 2021, the school is closed to all children apart from those who have been offered a place in our critical key worker provision. Remote learning arrangements are now in place for all other children. Please see the below timetable for live lesson times and also consult our class pages for the daily timetable of live learning and pre-recorded lessons.
Class Email Addresses
During this new period of lockdown, we have created class email address for you to communicate directly with teachers and send completed work, please see below. These email addresses are only in use during this period of remote learning and are not otherwise monitored. During normal school learning and attendance, please contact the office to arrangement an appointment with your child's teacher.

Learning Platforms
The core platforms that we use are:
Oak Academy: The online lessons are free to all and offer high-quality video lessons that children can access physical teaching from a teacher and then access work relating to that lesson within the same website. There are hundreds of lessons that fit with our current curriculum and lessons that are specifically aimed at children with SEND needs and requiring additional support.
https://www.thenational.academy/
Spelling shed, Maths Frame, Purple Mash and TT rockstars: will all be utilised to support the acquisition and retention of basic core skills. These online subscriptions are accessible for to all pupils- every child has a personalised log on for these resources. Copies of logins will be sent home for those who have misplaced them.
Reading plus and Active learn: KS1 can access a wide range of books through ActiveLearn. This is a great resource that brilliantly combines an online reading world with print books. KS2 have access to Reading Plus which helps to develop the fluency and comprehension skills which children need to be successful readers. Copies of logins will be sent home for those who have misplaced them.
MS Teams: we are in the process of implementing MS Teams and will be using this alongside set classwork. In an event of a bubble lockdown, we will be using Microsoft Teams for a 'Morning Greeting'. Every morning at 9:30am, your child's teacher will 'go live' and give children a run through of the day and set expectations. To access Teams, children have been given their own email address. Please note: during remote learning teachers will monitor the class email accounts and this will be become the primary method of contact. However, while the school is open, all enquiries should be sent to enquiry@stbarnabasb24.org.uk as normal. If you are not familiar with Teams, please read the guide below.
Live Session Timetable
Please see below for details of when live learning will take place for your child. All sessions are recorded and can be accessed via MS Teams at any time to fit around sibling learning commitments.
