Attendance and absence. 1. The face-to-face on-line course sessions require that you participate in class on-line in real time. Attendance is mandatory as it is for regular (off-line) face-to-face course sessions.
Attendance and absence. The school will not view remote education as an equal alternative to on-site attendance, and will only consider remote education as a last resort when the alternative would be no education. Circumstances where remote education will be considered will fit into the following two categories: • School closures or restrictions on attendance, where school access for pupils is restricted • Individual cases where a pupil is unable to attend school but is able to learn The school will continue to record pupil attendance and absence in the register in line with the education regulations and attendance guidance, using the most appropriate code, and in line with the school’s Attendance and Absence Policy. Pupils will be present for remote learning by 9:00am and cease their remote learning at 3:00pm from Monday to Friday, with the exception of breaks and lunchtimes. Breaks and lunchtimes will take place at the following times each day: • Morning break will take place at 10:30am until 10:45am. • Lunchtime will take place between 12:00pm and 1:00pm. Pupils with SEND or additional medical conditions who require more regular breaks, e.g. sensory breaks, are not expected to do schoolwork during their breaks. Pupils who are unwell are not expected to be present for remote learning until they are well enough to do so. Parents will inform their child’s teacher no later than 8:30am if their child is unwell.

For individual cases where a pupil is unable to attend school but is able to partake in remote education, the school will consider providing remote education on a case-by-case basis as part of a plan to reintegrate the pupil back to school. Remote education will only be provided when it is judged that its provision will not adversely affect the pupil’s return to school. School closures and attendance restrictions The school will ensure that every effort is made to ensure pupils can be taught in person where possible. The school will explore all options to ensure the school can remain open to all pupils; however, in circumstances where it is not possible to safely remain open or where remaining open would contradict local or central government guidance, the school will consider providing remote education. The school will ensure that it has a plan in place outlining remote education procedures for teachers, parents and pupils. The DfE’s emergency planning guidance will be consulted i...
