Remote Learning
At Lane End Primary School, we have been working hard to ensure we are able to continually improve our remote learning offer, should it be necessary to adopt to this approach in the future. We want our offer to be the best quality wherever possible so your children do not miss out on their learning. In the autumn term, the school invested in and worked with the EdTech Demonstrator program to set up a Microsoft Teams account for each child. This platform has been introduced to the children over the course of the autumn term so they are familiar with how to log in, access work and live lessons. We have also been teaching the children the importance of e-safety to ensure they use this resource responsibly. We would encourage all parents to read and sign our Microsoft Teams Remote Learning Agreement via SchoolPing to ensure parents and children understand the routines and expectations of our Remote Learning offer. You can also find a copy of our Remote Learning Policy on our Policies page of the website.
Please follow this link to our privacy notice so you can see the measures we take to keep your child’s personal data safe. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via the office email address or telephone call to the school.
We would also encourage all parents to respond to the Device Survey sent out on 29th October via school ping. This will enable the school to ensure additional devices are provided for those children who most need them to access our remote learning offer, should their class or bubble have to self isolate.
If you are unable to access either ping regarding the Microsoft Teams Remote Learning Agreement or the Device Survey, please contact the school office via office@laneendprimary.co.uk.
Our Remote Learning Offer
At Lane End Primary School, we are able to offer a three step approach to remote learning for our pupils:
More information about how we use Microsoft Teams:
Each class and bubble has a timetable for when remote learning will take place which is shared on Teams for children and parents to access.
Ks1 sessions (live, recorded and independent) run for a minimum of 3 hours per day and KS2 sessions (live, recorded and independent), a minimum of 4 hours. These sessions are made up of a combination of live and recorded sessions with the teacher as well as independent assignments set for the children to complete. Recorded sessions are supported by the teacher being available for children to call in to via Teams if they have any questions about their work. Independent assignments are also set via Microsoft Teams for foundation subjects with an input for these given by the class teachers.
The remote curriculum mirrors the in school curriculum that is being taught. This means that whether children are at home accessing remote learning or in school, they are being taught the same content.
Feedback is given throughout the live sessions by the classteacher and it is also given daily through Microsoft teams 'feedback' function once the children have handed their work in. Teachers will use information from the work handed in as well as the ongoing formative assessments made through questioning, quizzing and retrieval activities set within the sessions to assess children's understanding.
Live and recorded sessions are staggered across bubbles to enable siblings in different year groups to access their learning more easily. The school also has a limited number of devices it is able to loan out to parents where needed. Please also speak to us if you have any problems accessing the internet as we are also able to support with this.

Did you know you can also access Microsoft Teams through your PS4, Ps5 or XBox?
If you do not have laptops or ipads at home to access Microsoft Teams, do not despair! If your child has a PS4, PS5 or XBox, then you will be able to access teams through any of these consoles. Our guide on How to Access Teams on a PS4, PS5 or XBox will help you to get started.
If you do not have any of these consoles and are having difficulty accessing the Remote Learning, please contact the school as soon as possible by emailing the school office: office@laneendprimary.co.uk and we will do our best to help!
