Home Learning at The Colleton refers to any work or activity which pupils are asked to do outside lesson time – including spellings, reading activities and termly assignments.
We actively promote home support and encouragement, whilst accepting there will always be inequalities in the Home Learning environment. To mitigate this, Home Learning is carefully planned to ensure a varied selection of tasks requiring differing levels of resources, time and independence. Every parent/carer will receive a copy of our Home Learning Policy.
Please visit our remote learning page in the parents section of the website Remote Learning Provision. This has full details our provision of remote learning during the current lockdown whilst we can only have critical worker and vulnerable families in attendance at school.
Children have been provided with individual logins to access Microsoft Teams and each reg group has a team channel where they can post any questions related to learning and a member of the teaching team will respond to support them with their learning.
Parents can contact teachers and expect a response at some point during the school day via their team addresses

A briefing communication is sent out twice weekly to update families on school life and share recommendations for learning resources and wellbeing.
During the summer term 2020, government guidelines meant that school could only be open for Keyworker families and children in Foundation stage, Year 1 and Year 6 which meant it was necessary for many of our families to remain at home. Following full return to school in September, we evaluated our provision and devised a remote learning strategy to ensure we could offer a further enhanced provision.
This plan meant that in the event that individual children or groups needed to self-isolate due to Covid 19 we would be well placed to support learning. We would also be able to switch to remote learning in the case of a directive to restrict attendance due to local infection rates or national lockdown as is currently the case.
