Remote Learning

Remote Learning Offer

Gaskell Primary School aims to continue to provide a curriculum that meets the needs of all children.
Our staff have worked hard to develop a Remote Learning Offer that reflects our ethos and enables children to make progress during this lockdown period.
The offer is of high quality and aligns as closely as possible to the in school offer for our vulnerable and children of critical workers. The mental well-being of our families is paramount and so the outline below is a guide for parents.

Support for Children with Special Educational Needs

Support for children with SEND will remain in place, whether children are attending school or accessing remote learning.

We will endeavour to work closely with families to ensure an ambitious curriculum is delivered to all children with SEND, appropriate for the level of need.

If parents have any further questions regarding supporting their child with SEND, please do not hesitate to contact office@gaskell.bolton.sch.uk

Children’s Engagement with Learning

We will keep a daily register of attendance and contact you if we are concerned about your child’s attendance or engagement during the sessions.
This will enable us to identify any barriers to learning and offer support if necessary.
Paper packs of learning activities are available on request.
