Providing remote education:
How Frog can help
According to the DfE, schools “should consider, where possible” providing remote education if attendance is restricted. They also suggest that “Good practice is considered to be three hours a day on average for key stage 1, four hours for key stage 2 and five hours for key stages 3 and 4”.
The good news is that there's plenty of support available to make your school continuity plan sufficiently robust to withstand many of these kinds of situations. Once you have a continuity plan, it can be cloned and tweaked to consider unique actions linked to a particular set of circumstances. The master plan can address common actions to be taken in the event of an unplanned school closure, with continuity enabled post-closure.
Frog can help!
We have recently relaunched our FrogStore, packed with engaging lessons shared by teachers across the country. All resources are available to you at no extra cost.
We’ve collected stories from lots of our schools on how they used Frog when closed either due to lockdown or just an unexpected snow day, gas leak or flood! They are all shared on our Frog blog. You can read about topics such as collecting work, coursework and remote learning, communication...
Introducing the School Continuity Portal
Frog's School Continuity Portal is designed to keep the line of communication open for as long as possible in extenuating circumstances.
The portal includes three lesson plans (Maths, English and Science) appropriate for year groups 7-9 that are ready to use, with plenty of scope to add your own content too. There's a gallery, forms and guidance available for teachers, so everyone can connect and share - even from remote locations.
