Year 7

Work for students who are absent:

If students are absent from school as a result of illness or injury, then they should continue to keep up to date with their school work when able by accessing and completing home learning. As a Trust, we are continuing to set work for students in cases of absence to reduce learning gaps and students feeling overwhelmed and behind when they return to school.
Students can access the same or similar material that is being covered in school during the period of absence. As well as using BBC bitesize, some subjects such as science and business studies use Seneca learning and PE and Sport use Everlearner.
Students should also aim to read at least 20 minutes a day to support literacy and vocabulary development. As a school, we have chosen two excellent websites recommended by the DFE for remote learning, these are: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize and https://classroom.thenational.academy/

Students will be able to access the same or similar material that is being covered in school during the period of absence. Both websites use quizzes and videos to make the learning engaging and interactive as possible. On some occasions students study subjects that are not covered by the two websites, for example OCR Sport in Year 10 and 11, this work will be published on Satchel:One and students will be directed to Everlearner or Business Studies – which instead links to Seneca Learning. Students in all year groups are also encouraged to read every day and for years 7 – 11, they should be keeping their reading record up to date. An electronic copy of this can be found in the links to year groups below. Students should also complete homework set on Satchel:One whilst absent. For students in Years 7-11, they can find out which topics to access as follows, the majority of sessions have direct links to the resources to make it easier to navigate:
