January 2021
The lock down in January 2021 tested the whole
school community’s IT skills, adaptability and
resilience. It also offered an opportunity for teachers
to be extremely creative and use a range of teaching
strategies and resources to ensure that lessons were
engaging, interactive, curriculum focussed and
enabled students to learn and make excellent progress.
During the second lockdown Cranford continued to
deliver a full curriculum and full-time provision, with
‘live’ teaching and learning predominantly through
Microsoft Teams, with some use of Zoom. These live
face to face lessons allowed students to interact with
the teacher and other students, work in small groups
and have learning opportunities as close as possible
to learning in school. The provision extended to
include homework and some extra-curricular clubs
and activities.
Remote education provision at Cranford continues
to evolve and improve as teachers explore new
technologies and software and incorporate innovative
practices into their lessons.
REMOTE LEARNING
#
March 2021
On the 8th March 2021 all students returned to school.
Where students and teachers have been required to
isolate they have continued learning and teaching from
home. When this happens students still attend their
timetabled lessons live using Teams which ensures
that they are able to access the same curriculum
as their peers. Teachers isolating at home are still
beamed into classrooms to deliver their lessons which
ensures as little disruption to learning as possible.
The whole school community from parents and
students to teaching and non-teaching staff should
be applauded for their commitment to ensuring all
students have access to a full and engaging curriculum
whether they are in school or learning remotely at
home.
Blended learning, the combination of face to face
learning, classroom based learning and on line
learning will continue to be a feature of the curriculum
at Cranford Community College.
