What does the remote provision for your kids look like?

[ProvisonalPaulina]

Even in our own family we have a huge spread of what's on offer for the kids and I'm curious what it looks like for everyone else.

We have:
YR4 private school - full live zoom schedule with the teacher teaching the key worker kids in person simultaneously from the classroom. All specialist teachers are live as well.

Nursery attached to private school- full sessions in person

YR 11 state school: a few prerecorded slide decks and one live zoom fortnightly.

Yr7 independent - full timetable of live lessons including exercise sessions for PE/Games and music tuition start next week

Yr5 & 2 state - 3 "lessons" per day. 2 usually live with the teacher in Maths & English, one additional subject done independently. AM & PM online registration/sharing/story sessions

State provision is so much improved since the first time when nothing was live and the work was generally quite tedious. I feel they are at least getting some education!

All these schools with all day 'live' lessons... What provision are they making for children who can't access the 'live' lessons? Such as shared devices, parents working hours, weak internet connections etc.

At DD's school these are classed as vulnerable as they do not have the same opportunities or resources so they are in school.

I have given at least one older device away to a family to help them out and those that can afford it have been encouraged to donate devices for their and other schools.

Don't know how other schools are managing it.

If they can't access live all day then they are classed as vulnerable. For kids who are on bursaries they have given them laptops etc.

I’m not sure what the criteria is for funding for laptops etc but I know that our school was given 5 laptops for a school with over 700 kids on the school roll

At our private school they all get issued school laptops as standard anyway.

At our state primary they have offered out some laptops but I think it is still a big issue in multiple kid households. We have loaned an old laptop to a friend for this. I think if you can't access the remote learning you are classed as vulnerable and allowed in.

Yr 3 state have been set a timetable on dojo with worksheets but no live lessons. Teacher does send a good morning video and there's a recording of him reading the class book every day.

Yr12 state special school get 3 live lessons a day of 45 minutes each with 15 minute chat breaks at the end and an hours lunch after the first 2. The live lessons are as chaotic as you can imagine. They've also been given little side projects to do, research in history , extra maths questions etc

Sorry yr11, not 12.

Y1
3 pre recorded lessons a day from class teacher, with links to videos supporting the lessons (eg phonics song). Around 10-15 minutes but takes a bit longer to complete once you pause at certain points to do the work
daily story being read by one of the school teachers
2x lessons linked from outside sources like Oak Academy or Bitesize

No live lessons, which works well for us. A couple of extra optional ideas linked to the topic. And we are encouraged to read every day with our children and have been given links to access e books.

Y3, suggested tasks, not compulsory. A nice range of things to do. Class Zoom once a fortnight.

Y7, pre recorded videos and worksheets. No zoom or teams. It's all very dry and you can see there hasn't been a lot of thought as to how lessons could be adapted for home. Too much time sitting in front of a screen with very few practical tasks. DS is struggling to stay motivated
