Remote Home Learning Offers

As you may be aware, in the event that your child is unable to attend school due to COVID-19 restrictions, schools are required to provide a remote learning offer. Our offer outlined below is designed to cover a number of scenarios including if the whole class is isolating or just a smaller number of children, but we do appreciate that not every set of circumstances may be covered. As we have shared since March 2020: Just do what you can, when you can. However, if the needs of your child cannot be met through the provision we have outlined, please make contact with your child’s class teacher to discuss your concerns. Please click on the relevant Key Stage document to access the remote learning offer for your child/ren.

Home Learning Information for children who are absent from school in relation to COVID-19 can be found in the Temporary Home Learning Packs section on the website: https://www.millfield.herts.sch.uk/temporary-learning-packs/

Routines

Consistent routines are important for behaviour and wellbeing in school, as well as at home. Routines support behaviour and you will be finding a new rhythm with your family. Below is a daily  checklist you could share this with your child. Talk and plan with your child a routine supports the whole family.

Ensuring that you have fun as a family is an important aspect to include in your daily routine. 

Government strategies to help support the educational impact of COVID-19

The Government funded a Catch Up Strategy in 2020-21. Please see Millfield's Strategy Plan below for more information. In addition, the Government part-funded a School Led Tutoring programme. Fortunately, Millfield was able to offer a full programme of School Led Tutoring sessions to all Key Stage 1 and 2 children over the Spring and Summer Terms 2022.
