Principles We will implement a bespoke “virtual” timetable that aims to deliver the summer term curriculum as planned.We will combine traditional and virtual teaching/learning methods, aiming to ensure screen time to be no greater than 50% of learning time. We will ensure students/families have access to their normal teachers, subject leaders and continue to receive guidance/support via telephone or email communication. We will ensure that virtual teaching and learning can take place with minimum ICT requirements, and aim to support all students/families facing potential barriers. We will expect all students to register within their tutor group’s ‘Google Classroom’ area at 08.45 each morning and then again at 13.15 each afternoon. Students will register by completing an academic or pastoral-based Low Stakes Quiz.We will expect students to submit one piece of work weekly for each subject to their teacher that will be checked. We expect parents/carers to support us by ensuring their child is registering each day at 08.45 and 13.15 and following their timetable of virtual learning. We will continue to follow DFE guidance about our safeguarding obligations, including daily welfare checks on students. Virtual Academy DayOur Virtual Academy day has been designed to give students time to engage with all their academic subjects as well as getting the breaks and time away from their computer screens and desks that is required for their physical health and mental wellbeing. All students must register within their tutor group’s ‘Google Classroom’ area at 08.45; lessons will then begin at 09.00. Students are required to register again within their tutor at 13.15.For simplicity and to allow students to explore the content of each lesson deeply, each lesson is one hour in length with fifteen minutes for break and thirty minutes for lunch. Students have also been allocated a half hour period of PE each day; we strongly encourage parents to ensure their child is following the scheme of learning put together by our PE department during these times.TimeActivity08.45 – 09.00AM Registration09.00 --10.00Period 110.00 – 11.00Period 211.00 – 11.15Break11.15 – 12.15Period 312.15 – 12.45PE12.45 – 13.15Lunch13.15 – 13.30PM Registration (Reading)13.30 - 14.30Period 514.30 – 15.30Period 6Home learning tasks form an important aspect of our subject curricula within our physical academy. To continue to allow students to consolidate learning from their virtual lessons and explore content in more detail subjects will continue to set students one piece of home learning each week. This work should be completed outside of timetabled activities and can be completed in home learning exercise books. The home learning tasks are outlined within the Subject Guides (found at the bottom of this document).Year 7-8 Virtual Curriculum & TimetableOur Year 7 and Year 8 Virtual Academy timetables have been designed to be as simple as possible for students to follow whilst ensuring students are exposed to their subjects for as much as they would do if following their normal timetables. This will allow our Year 7 and 8 students to maintain high levels of learning and receive a wide-ranging curriculum during these times of uncertainty. The Year 7 and 8 timetables are shown below:Students should log-into their class’ Google Classroom area two minutes before the timetabled lesson begins to receive further guidance and support from their teacher.Students will notice that ‘Accelerated Reader’ has not been allocated a slot on our Year 7-8 Virtual Academy timetables. However, reading and accelerating our pupils’ literacy abilities remains an important focus of our curriculum. Each afternoon students will be provided with links to articles and quizzes (this will be through Accelerated Reader for our Y7/Y8 students). We expect students to read these articles and complete the accompanying quiz after they have registered. ICT lessons will resume when the Academy reopens; Y7 and Y8 students should use this Wednesday morning lesson to complete any independent ICT tasks, or, to take a break from laptops/screens.Year 9-10 Virtual Curriculum & TimetableAs with Year 7 and Year 8, our Year 9 and Year 10 Virtual Academy timetables have been designed with simplicity in mind. A substantial amount of curriculum time is allocated to the CORE subjects (English, Maths & Science) and three hours per week has been allocated to each of their Options subjects. The Year 9 and 10 timetables are shown below:Year 9Year 10Students should log-into their class’ Google Classroom area two minutes before the timetabled lesson begins to receive guidance and support from their teacher.Students will note that ‘Option B’ has only been allocated two hours of curriculum time per week. We have deemed it vital that students receive a thirty minute PE slot each day, therefore, it was not possible to allocate a third hour to ‘Option B’ subjects. However, teachers within these subjects will be setting students an extra sixty minutes of independent work that students must complete in advance of the following week’s lessons. ICT lessons will resume when the Academy reopens; students that take ICT should use their three ICT periods to complete independent work in other subjects, or, to take a break away from laptops/screens.How Students will be Taught and LearnDuring timetabled lessons our students will experience a combination of recorded virtual lessons and periods of independent work. Virtual teaching will make use of various online providers such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, etc; all providers are free of charge and easy to use. Instructions for use will be provided by subject areas in their ‘Subject Guides’ (at the end of this policy document) and to individual students requiring support over Google Classroom. Virtual lessons do not necessarily require a laptop/tablet to access; students can log-in to these lessons on their mobile phones.When virtual lessons are not scheduled students should follow the ‘Virtual Academy Schemes of Learning’ put together by each subject area. During these times teachers will be online ready to answer questions and provide support via email/Google Classroom.Home learning tasks will be set; these run separate to the tasks/activities outlined in the ‘Virtual Academy Schemes of Learning’. These home learning tasks can be found in the Subject Guides – found at the bottom of this document.How Student Work will be Monitored, Checked and Assessed Students are expected to complete all the tasks and activities outlined on the ‘Virtual Academy Schemes of Learning’ documents. This work can be completed electronically on a laptop/tablet, or, can be hand-written. Subject teachers will be online during timetabled periods; students are encouraged to use teacher email addresses and Google Classrooms to ask for support. One piece of work in each subject area will be formally submitted to teachers for checking. This can be submitted electronically, or, students may wish to take photos of their work and email the photographs through to subject teachers. The deadlines for these pieces of work that need to be formally submitted are outlined on each Scheme of learning outline. Teachers will check and assess the submitted work and will feedback main points of strength and development during a subsequent lesson.How Students can receive Support, Advice and GuidanceParents/carers and students can consult Subject Guides (at the end of this policy document) to see who can be contacted for support, advice and guidance within subject areas.If parents/carers have any queries around ICT support and/or are concerned that their child will not be able to access Google Classrooms/Virtual lessons then they should contact their child’s tutor, their House Assistant Principal and Mr. Webb. Key contact email addresses are listed below:Staff MemberCan offer support on…Email AddressMr. ConlonVirtual Academy Curriculum and ProceduresDan.conlon@e-.ukMr. ComrieVirtual Academy Attendance and rie@e-.ukMr. WilsonLawrence House Nathaniel.wilson@e-.ukMr. GoodmanAttenborough HouseRob.goodman@-.ukMs. Lewis-NelsonSeacole House and Business/EnterpriseNickola.lewis-nelson@e-.ukMs. JohalEnglishParam.johal@e-.ukMs. KorantengMaths and ScienceFelicity.koranteng@e-.ukMr. SmithHumanitiesKieran.smith@e-.ukMs. MaskellSpanish, Media and ReadingSuzi.maskell@e-.ukMs. NaishCreative and Performing ArtsRebecca.naish@e-.ukMr. WebbICT/Email IssuesPeter.webb@e-.ukVirtual Behaviour for Learning PolicyWe expect our students to uphold the highest levels of behaviour and professionalism whilst accessing our Virtual Academy. We understand that this set-up is a different way of working for our students and pledge to reward and praise those who are on-time for registration, engaging with their lessons, submitting high-quality work on time amongst other things. Students will be awarded ‘Achievement Points’ as they would if the Academy was running as usual and will be given daily updates on their totals during registration. Similarly students will be sanctioned with ‘Behaviour Points’ if expectations around registration, meeting deadlines, conduct during virtual lessons/in Google Classrooms are not met. Parents will be contacted if students are repeatedly showing some of these behaviours listed.During Day 1 of the Virtual Academy each student will receive Achievement Points for registering on-time in the morning and afternoon. Greater numbers of achievement points will be awarded for students registering on-time for all five AM and PM sessions in a week as well as submitting high-quality work on-time, entering house competitions, etc. If a student does not submit a piece of work on-time then he/she will trigger our Virtual Academy sanction system. This is the same procedure for all subjects.The teacher will email the student directly, informing them that they have missed the deadline. The work needs to be submitted within 24 hours.If the work has not been submitted within 24 hours then a sanction of three behaviour points is added to SIMS. If the work is still not forth-coming after an additional 24 hours then,an email is sent to parents/carersa phone call is made to parents/carersthe issue is escalated to the faculty AP / curriculum director.Well-being, Virtual Attendance and Safeguarding We expect all of our students to be following their Virtual Academy timetables each day and ask parents/carers to do all they can to facilitate this. Students must log-in to their tutor group’s Google Classroom at 08.45 each morning where they will be asked to complete a Low Stakes Quiz. Students not present for registration by 09.00 will be sanctioned in accordance with our behaviour for learning policy and parents will be contacted by our tutors and/or pastoral team. Between 09.00 and 13.15 we expect students to follow their timetables and access virtual lessons/independent tasks accordingly. Students must return to their tutor group’s Google Classroom at 13.15 for PM registration; again, students not online to register at 13.15 will be sanctioned. Students continuing to follow this routine daily will be rewarded as a result.The COVID-19 pandemic means that we are living in unprecedented times. The situation has called for new and flexible arrangements as educators, parents, and children adjust to learning at home. Safeguarding children remotely brings new challenges, but we will continue to use our existing procedures to ensure all children are safe and able to continue learning.?All City Height’s online teaching follows the same principles as face-to-face teaching and the principles set out in the behaviour policy/code of conduct.
