Teachers have been teaching but obviously not always in the traditional way. Teachers have had to make do like most others working from home, not all teachers have latest laptops or reliable internet etc.
We’ve had nothing that could be classed as ‘teaching‘ for my two KS2 DC.
The school website gives links to Oak Academy, BBC bitesize, etc., and reminds us to do some Mathletics on a regular basis.
We created our own scheme of work using Twinkl and workbooks, and have emailed it in each week. No feedback beyond a generic ‘well done, you’ve worked hard!’, and younger child’s emails haven’t been acknowledged for weeks now.
Though they have updated the website to say that now that more children are going back in they’re going to be ‘scaling back‘ their level of involvement with at-home pupils due to time constraints. 


Would you rather teachers were planning, preparing and setting work for the kids or making endless phone calls to everyone rather than just to our vulnerable students or students whom we know will be having a tricky time?
I would be utterly delighted if the teachers were planning, preparing and setting work. Utterly delighted. There were only a handful of keyworker children in school prior to the expansion of provision, so I’m baffled as to what the 40+ staff members have been doing for the last three months.
Until I read this thread I honestly thought that all stare schools were operating in pretty much the same way. I’m actually gutted to realise how poor our school have been compared to some others.
