The manner in which staff will endeavour to provide work is outlined below:
Guidelines for those informed by the Health Protection Team to self-isolate:
- All work will go live for 8am on a Monday morning (or as soon as possible thereafter) using Assignments on Microsoft Teams (with a return date at the end of the isolation period). Pupils will be guided to complete work following a suggested timetable at home to maintain structure (below). Pupils will be encouraged to complete work prior to returning from isolation.
- There is no expectation that staff arrange a ‘teams meet’ for pupils self-isolating due to teaching commitments.
- Pupils – Please direct any queries via the Team conversation or your glow email to teachers directly for support.
Device information for those informed by the Health Protection Team to self-isolate:

Guidelines for those choosing to self-isolate:
