Guided Home Learning | Information | Streatham & Clapham High School

Guided Home Learning

Streatham & Clapham High School is committed to providing a safe environment for online learning. This commitment remains the same in the challenging circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 outbreak. During the period of Guided Home Learning our expectations of staff and pupils also remain the same, and the principles and practices of the school’s Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy and Online Safety Policy, and the GDST Social Media Policy, staff Code of Conduct and Acceptable Use Agreements for staff and pupils will continue to apply, both to existing and to any new online and distance-learning arrangements introduced. Staff and pupils must review these policies and ensure that they adhere to them at all times.

In order to ensure the safety and welfare of children during this period that pupils are engaging in guided home learning, the school will follow the Department for Education’s remote learning guidance:

Safeguarding & remote education during COVID-19

Given the changes in circumstances to every-day teaching and learning practices, the guidelines in the attached document, an annex to our Online Safety Policy, will also apply. I should be most grateful if you would you read this document carefully (there is also a section for pupils to note):
