E-Safety & Remote Learning
St Bartholomew’s Primary School is committed to ensuring that high quality learning continues even when children are required to self-isolate due to the Coronavirus. Whilst the school building may need to be closed at times to these children, learning itself is never ‘closed’ at our school. Remote learning and on-going communication and feedback between teachers, pupils and parents is important at St Bartholomew’s.
E-Safety
As a school, we want to promote the safe and positive use of the internet and technology for our pupils and it is our intention to use various platforms to support the children’s learning in school and at home.
For those children home schooling, the topic may generate questions and discussion points, which we would encourage parents/adults/carers to support their children with.
As a school, we are using 'The ProjectEVOLVE toolkit' to deliver and embed E-safety lessons. It offers engaging and focussed activities written by leading experts to engage and inform children and young people around important steps forward in their online development. The toolkit is based on UKCIS framework “Education for a Connected World” (EFACW) that covers knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes across eight strands of our online lives
- Self-image and identity
- Online Relationships
- Online Bullying
- Heath Wellbeing & Lifestyle
- Privacy & Security
- Copyright and Ownership
- Managing Online Information.
These outcomes or competencies are mapped to age and progressive.

Remote Learning
St Bartholomew's Primary School is committed to ensuring that high quality learning continues even when children are required and/ or advised to stay at home. The school building itself may need to be closed at times to children.
At our school, remote learning and on-going communication and feedback between teachers, pupils and families, is important and made possible through our use of 'It's Learning'.

The school will offer immediate remote education if:
- Individuals or groups of pupils need to self-isolate, but the rest of the school is still open; or
- There are local or national restrictions that means most pupils need to stay at home, as they did during the initial school closures in March 2020, lockdown and the partial opening of schools in June 2020.
The Department for Education frequently updates guidance on their website and indicates where schools have to make constant changes to procedures during this unprecedented time. Please see the following guidance on remote learning from the DfE.
Schools’ duty to provide remote education
Where a pupil, class, group or small number of pupils need to self-isolate, or there is a local lockdown requiring pupils to remain at home, DfE expects schools to be able to immediately offer them access to remote education. Schools should ensure remote education, where needed, is high-quality and aligns as closely as possible with in-school provision.
The Secretary of State has given a temporary continuity direction in order to require schools to provide remote education for state-funded, school-age children unable to attend school due to coronavirus (COVID-19). This came into effect on Thursday 22 October 2020.
