Remote Learning

Ark King Solomon Academy must continue delivering high-quality education during periods of remote learning. Our priority is to ensure pupils' have the best learning opportunities even if they are not in school. This will help us to:

ensure consistency in our approach to remote learning for pupils who are not in school
set out expectations for everyone in our school community

An important policy that we encourage parents to read and understand is our remote learning plan. In the event of a lockdown (partial or full) or pupils need to self-isolate, the school must ensure teaching continues. You can read our plans below.

Staying Mentally Healthy During School Closure

We want to make sure all our families are as safe and healthy as possible during school closure. Parents and pupils alike can contact the school using parents@kingsolomonacademy.org or call 0207 563 6900 for general enquiries or call or email your teacher or Head of Year/Year Lead. Safeguarding concerns should be addressed to Ms. Humphreys on e.humphreys@kingsolomonacademy.org or Ms. Colmans on i.colmans@Kingsolomonacademy.org. Please see the pdf below for other sources of support for parents and pupils during this strange time.

Primary Home Learning Curriculum

All pupils from Nursery to Year 6 are sent home learning packs every two weeks of school closure. There are daily tasks for every pupil. Anyone can access these packs in PDF format at the bottom of this page.

Channel: ksa guest

Staff upload daily videos to support pupils accessing the home learning packs on our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCND4v85p-OdSWJDzNCCAVXQ/videos?view=0&s...

Feel free to browse the storytelling videos and activities of any and all year groups!

In addition to the home learning curriculum, we have put together subject specific pages of additional activities to keep your brains engaged online for those of you who like to spend time on devices! We are constantly adding to these resources as we go along so if you see something you think we should add, then please do feel free to let us know! Pupils are encouraged to follow their own interests and passions by exploring a subject or topic or skill they find exciting.

In Half Term 5, pupils from Nursery to Year 6 have two online tutorials a week in a small group of four to six pupils with their class teacher to review their home learning packs and spend some time together learning and making sure we all stay well connected. Pupils access the tutorials through their parents’ email addresses to add a layer of security and adhere to strict guidelines on use of video, audio and chat. For parents who are unsure of when their child’s tutorials are scheduled to take place, please reach out directly to your child’s class teacher or email parents@kingsolomonacademy.org to check.

Any parent who would prefer for their child not to participate due to concerns about recording can opt out. Please contact Ms. Humphreys directly on e.humphreys@kingsolomonacademy.org or on 07415 208 451.
