Remote Learning
In order to ensure that learning is continued, irrespective of full closure, bubble closure or self-isolation, Maun Infant and Nursery School has developed the plan below.
This plan will be applied in the following instances:
- An individual/number of children are self-isolating because of a positive test within the household or are displaying symptoms themselves.
- A whole bubble or cohort is self-isolating because of an outbreak of coronavirus.
- Short-term whole school closure except for in-school provision for key worker and vulnerable children.
The plan complies with the expectations and principles outlined in the DFE document Guidance for Full Opening of Schools.
What Parents Think
During the 8-week lockdown at the beginning of 2021, we surveyed our parents to find out what they thought of our remote learning approach. We were overwhelmed with their positivity and that overall, they gave an average rating of 4.73 for our remote learning offer!
Which forms of learning has your child taken part in during this lockdown?
- In School
- Remote Learning on Sways
- 1:1 or small group remote sessions
- Paper-based Resources
The Government expects school to set work that takes: Less than 3 hours a day for EYFS, 3 hours a day for KS1. How does this match with the work your child has received?
- Correct Amount
- Too Much Work
What, if anything, could the school do better in relation to its remote learning provision?
56% of our families thought that nothing within our remote learning provision needed to be improved. Some of the comments they made are as follows:

The Maun Approach to Remote Learning: What our parents say
All teaching and support staff have been incredible. And the amount of work that has gone into all the remote learning and at school has gone above and beyond. Very supportive staff and the communication has been brilliant and very informative. I have felt that my daughter has been extremely safe when attending school with all the safety measures in place. Thank you just doesn't seem enough.
I am overwhelmed with the support that has been given to my child over our time home schooling! Can't thank his teachers enough.
We want to say how brilliant the school was from the very start. We went from children being back at school to the next day, having to do remote learning. The way the school has dealt with this in such an effective manner, ensuring everyone has access to the tools they need (whether that was delivering packs to houses or organizing for children to have tablets to access the work), keeping parents and children updated, uploading work onto Teams, the list goes on. We are so appreciative of all that the school has done and how amazing they have been through it all.
Maun have exceeded on every level during lockdown, the help and support on hand has been great.
