Learning
Remote Learning
Year 12 remote learning from Friday 16 July 2021
We have made the difficult decision to ask Year 12 students to revert to remote learning for the remainder of the school year. Whilst there are currently only two confirmed cases, a significant proportion of the year group are being required to self-isolate. To ensure that the provision in place for all of our students is the best it can possibly be, we feel it would be fairer for all of our students to be benefiting from high-quality live lessons.
From Friday 16 July, all lessons will be conducted live on teams. Students are reminded that attendance is compulsory and will be monitored.
Many students will be currently receiving feedback on their PPEs. Teaching staff will ensure that students have all the information they need, it is available via satchel one. Students should speak to their teachers as soon as possible if they have any concerns.
If there are any technical problems, including issues accessing lessons, please contact Mr Binnington via abn@denefield.org.uk or Mr Peacock via mpk@denefield.org.uk
We are sorry that the year is ending like this for Year 12, but are very much looking forward to their return in September.
Conduct during remote lessons
Recently we have held assemblies with all year groups, which have focussed on getting the most from live online lessons. Our code of conduct for online lessons has been explained to students, including expectations about participation, online safety, and courtesy. The code of conduct can be found here.
Accessing Teams for live lessons
All students should be able to access Teams and join live lessons. If you are having difficulty, please take a look at the instructions here. If you need to re-set a password, please contact the school office via the school app or via the usual text or email system.
Show My Homework (SMHW)
If you have forgotten your SMHW login details you can re-set them by clicking here for a student login, and here for a parent/carer login. Please be aware that parents/carers and students cannot use the same email address on this system
Additional resources
There are a number of platforms and websites that the school uses to enhance or extend a student’s learning. Further details can be found here, along with access information where appropriate. If you experience problems accessing the systems, please contact the class teacher in the first instance.
