Remote Education

Ralph Butterfield Primary School is committed to ensuring that all children receive a quality education. Attendance in school is mandatory for all pupils of compulsory school age, providing they are well enough to engage with learning. Schools no longer have a statutory obligation to provide remote education when a child is required to self-isolate due to an infectious disease. Here at Ralph Butterfield Primary School, we recognise the value and importance of the provision of high-quality remote education; we will therefore continue to provide this when face-to-face education is not accessible, due to government guidance.

This might include:

·        occasions when school leaders decide that it is not possible for their setting to open safely, or that opening would contradict guidance from local or central government

·        occasions when individual pupils, for a limited duration, are unable to physically attend their school, however are well and able to continue learning e.g pupil has an infectious illness

If a child is well enough to attend school, but is unable to do so because of an infectious disease, then Ralph Butterfield Primary School will provide remote education.
