Remote Learning
- A child (and their siblings if they are also attending WPA) is absent because they are awaiting test results and the household is required to self-isolate. The rest of their school bubble are attending school and being taught as normal.
- A child’s whole bubble is not permitted to attend school because they, or another member of their class, have tested positive for Covid-19.

Parent and pupil conduct
- Make sure that you and your child are in a quiet space, where there are likely to be fewer distractions and background noises. Also make sure that the view that can be seen from your camera, is an appropriate one.
- The teacher may start by muting all participants. Being able to hear everyone at the same time can be overwhelming, so it is best to mute all participants and then await further instructions from the teacher
- Parents, please stay nearby during the lesson. They may require support accessing the technology or need your reassurance during the call. If your child is very young or shy, you are welcome to sit in
- Live lessons will be recorded so that those unable to attend can watch them back. If you do not wish your child to be recorded, please ensure cameras are turned off.
