What, if any, 'face to face support' will your school be offering for years 10 and 12?

I have one child in year 10, one in year 12. Both schools have said they will offer them one day each, in total, before the summer.

Other local schools are talking about running full school days tues-fri.

Just interested in what everyone else is experiencing?

One meeting with mentor offered, to discuss work completed to date and expectations for summer term. No lessons

There is no guidance yet. Nothing to read. Some schools may have to unplan their plans.

Year 12. W/c 8th June 2hrs each subject. One subject Monday, one Wednesday and final one Friday.

Staying with online teaching, open to vulnerable and keyworker children across all year groups.
I greatly admire the Headteacher for sticking to the principle of protecting staff and pupils.

Similiar. Year group divided into three clusters who each go in one day a week initially. The art, science, DT etc will be actual classes, but the rest will be online. So even the cluster in school will be having online classes. Seems silly to me (my daughter says why don't they just go in for the actual live classes). I guess they are seeing if it works then decide to ramp it up. With about 20 different GCSE courses plus different sets for many (5 sets for math) it does get complicated. At least the kids can see some friends.
Y12 have smaller classes anyway so will have actual classes but one day a week at first.

Staying with online teaching, not opening the school. Have been very happy with the full timetable work provided and teachers can have virtual face to face if required.

Ours already had a week A and week B rota so teaching over a two week cycle. They are having half year groups for y 10 and 12 on alternate weeks and teaching the group at home with online teaching alongside those that are in.

We've had an e-mail saying tba but expect very few lessons with very few pupils each time - only has year 10 at school, no 6th forms. Says will almost all just be remote learning via SMHW.

Y10 here

Haven't heard anything

JellyBabiesSaveLives · 21/05/2020 07:35

We haven’t heard anything. Except that the council have advised schools not to open till 8th June.

Our Year 10s will be in on a 2 week rota after half-term

MadameMinimes · 21/05/2020 07:24

We are doing the same as your children’s school. I wonder if those that are doing full days for weeks on end for Y12 have fully read the government guidance. The advice that students are put into one small group and must not be mixed into other groups either during the day or on subsequent days means that, if you’re following government advice, they can’t be in different classes for each subject with their subject teachers. If they can’t have lessons then what is the point of them being in? They will have either just be supervised whilst doing the home learning or they will be doing other activities. Y10 could potentially do only core subjects and have some contact with subject specialist teachers but no options, without mixing groups, but not year 12.
Schools that are doing a normal timetable are not following the protective measures advice.
