At Wilson’s, we value the strong link between wellbeing, attainment and attendance and work closely with parents to ensure that pupils attend school to learn in person.
There are very rare cases when a pupil is unable physically to attend school but is fully able to learn. For example, a pupil may be recovering from an operation, or from injuries where physical attendance might inhibit recovery. In such circumstances, where prolonged isolation at home is required as a result of an official specialist medical diagnosis, the school will provide remote education in the form of resources, such as textbooks / workbooks, as well as teacher guidance and assessment via e.g. email and phone calls.
In the event that access to school buildings is restricted for a large number of pupils over an extended period of time, live online teaching will be provided, following the usual timetable and using a suitable platform (e.g. Google Classroom). If a child does not have digital or online access at home, the school will ensure that resources are provided to enable them to access live online teaching.
If, for whatever reason, a pupil is unable to attend school over a period of time, members of staff responsible for the child’s pastoral care will stay closely in touch to safeguard their welfare and ensure their educational progress.
