The Challenge
The closure of schools due to the pandemic provided an opportunity for our teachers to lead by example and ‘practise what we teach’ by preparing and dealing with the challenges that life presents us. The challenge was to provide an undisrupted quality Repton education through the creation of an on-line Distance Learning Programme
The Result
What online learning looks like at Repton International School?
Curriculum
Our Online Teaching and Learning Programme is designed around the school’s existing curriculum, with all subjects being taught as when in school.
Timetable
The student’s day is organised following the current junior and senior academic timetable with similar start and end times and allowing for the same break periods. To maintain human contact and interactions in Distance Learning whole class sessions are carried out so that our pupils can connect with both their classmates and the teachers.
Tailored
We have adapted the subject contents and group sizes to deliver them effectively via the online platforms, with our programme blending a mix of online and offline content and experiences using the latest video and software programmes to enhance the quality of delivery and ensure a balance between screen time and independent learning.
Relations
Our online provision ensures daily live interactions between the students and teachers across all year groups and also parent feedback opportunities through surveys and virtual conferences with teachers.
Feedback
Teacher feedback and assessment is provided to ensure students understand how well they are doing and what they need to do to improve. All students are tracked and work monitored daily. Students are rewarded weekly for participation and effort.
