In this section of our school website you will find information about each individual class, including the teacher’s name, the class curriculum plans and Isolation project tasks. It also gives you information of what each class is learning about and evidence of work. Select any of the classes from the menu for further information.
As part of our support to parents during this unprecedented school closure and staggered re-opening, due to COVID-19, staff are updating their class pages regularly. They are giving you lots of ideas and suggestions of ways you can work at home with your child. They are by no means exhaustive but they are there to provide support and structure to your home educating work. Staff have researched and located work which they think is best matched to your child’s year group and based on the subject matter they are teaching in class.
As Headteacher, I have been amazed and delighted by the way our children and their families have embraced the challenge of home-schooling last academic year – you are all to be commended. Please know that we are here to help and that staff really enjoy celebrating the wonderful work your children have completed at home.
If a pupil is sent home at any point this year (2020-2021) to isolate then we have the following plans in place to support you:
- Annual Curriculum Map – so you know what is being taught and when
- Half termly Isolation Project Task Plan – to use if your child is at home but the rest of the bubble is in school
- Weekly / daily plans – these will be uploaded by teachers in the event of a full bubble closure
- Individual email addresses will be given out to pupils in the event of a bubble closure to email the teacher Teaching and Learning questions between 9am – 10:30am and 1pm – 2:30pm. These will ONLY be checked in the event of a full bubble closure
If you are struggling and need help, there is someone in school between 8am-3:30pm and we are here to support you. Unfortunately, we are unable to shop for you or come to your house, however if you need us to access help from other essential or emergency sources then please do not hesitate to contact us on:
(01207 232624 or stanleystjoseph@durhamlearning.net).
We can put you in touch with emergency Food-banks, One-point family services, Social workers or the First Contact Safeguarding team. Remember the current Government advice is to stay home and stay safe.
God Bless and stay safe
