Remote Learning
Due to the latest national lockdown, school is closed to most pupils. However, we are pleased to direct you to our suite of remote learning.
Work will be set mostly through Google Classroom, but you should also check other websites that we use like MyMaths, Times Tables Rock Stars, Accelerated Reader and Rising Stars. (Not every year group uses all of these, your child will have brought a letter home recently with all of their login details. Click on the images below to go to the sign on screen for each service.
For help logging into Google Classroom we have prepared a short video for you - you can access it here.
We expect children to be online and working from 9am each morning, like a normal school day! While they are not in the building, it is vital that they are online and engaged with the work that teachers are working so hard to provide, to read our full home learning statement please click here.
If you have any further questions please contact enquiry@georgedixonprimary.bham.sch.uk
These are the main providers we use to deliver remote education - please click the image to login to each service
We have also compiled this big list of free resources that you can access at home in order to support your child's further learning.
While we are recommending these pages, channels and resources, we do not monitor them on a regular basis and therefore cannot guarantee what content is available on them - it is always the responsibility of the primary care giver to monitor children's use of the internet.
When working online, children will need adult supervision. You would not let your child play with strangers in real life, please do not let this happen online. There are resources to help you keep safe:
-
Childline - for support
-
UK Safer Internet Centre - to report and remove harmful online content
-
CEOP - for advice on making a report about online abuse
Other Resources
It can be difficult to know where to start when looking for other online activities or information to complement the home learning offered from school. We have curated the list below to help take you to what we feel is some of the best content out there.
