Heathcote Primary School

If your child is unable to attend school due to long-term illness, suspension, or any other valid reason—but is well enough to complete school work—Heathcote Primary School will provide daily learning tasks that closely reflect the content being taught in class.

These tasks may include:

Worksheets
Open-ended activities
Direction to activities on online platforms
Links to publicly available resources such as Oak National Academy

The school will contact you to discuss your child’s access to remote learning and outline expectations. Where needed, we will provide the necessary equipment to support learning from home, and printed work packs can be arranged upon request for collection.

Your child’s class teacher will maintain contact throughout the period of absence to monitor progress and offer support. The frequency of contact will depend on the duration of the absence.

Please note:

For individual absences, live or recorded teaching will not be provided.
In the event of a wider disruption (e.g. a national pandemic), remote learning arrangements will be communicated clearly and promptly to all parents and carers.
If a whole class or a significant portion of a class is absent, live or recorded teaching may be offered as appropriate.
