Remote Learning

Where students are unable to attend school due to, medical, or disciplinary reasons we will continue to provide resources to enable students to continue their education at home – we call this remote learning. We want to minimise the impact to your child’s education and therefore we have a plan to make sure learning can continue, when they are unable to attend school.

We will be providing all teaching resources through Microsoft Teams. All students will be automatically placed in a Team for their classes in all subjects. Teachers will place all activities, including lessons and resources as files in these Teams. Pupils can access the Teams through their school email accounts. Teachers will also set homework and send messages to their pupils using MS Teams. All work will be available before the lesson is due to start.

You can see a summary of what is being taught each week through the remote learning guides that are shared on the school website every Friday. Pupils can access the guides using FROG. Your child’s teachers, will also be available via email to answer any questions or queries your child may have. The email address for the head of each department is also included within this guide if you need to contact them regarding any subject related issue.

Pupils are also regularly set tasks and can access resources using the following platforms:

GCSEPod – https://www.gcsepod.com/

MyOn – https://www.myon.co.uk

Seneca – https://senecalearning.com/en-GB/

UpLearn – www.uplearn.co.uk

Dr Frost Maths – https://www.drfrostmaths.com/

The following resources provide lessons created by the BBC and Department for Education that may be used with your children to extend their learning at school.​​​​​​

Studies show that reading for pleasure makes a big difference to children’s educational performance. We recognise that reading is vitally important to your child’s education. Please make sure your child reads approximately one book a week. E-books are available to all Holte School pupils through MyOn, or they may borrow a book from the school library.

If your child is unable to access the digital resources set by their teachers, please contact your child’s Year Manager or Year Coordinator or the school directly using this email address: enquiry@holte.bham.sch.uk
