With regards to the work being set, teachers are following the curriculum that they would be covering in school. Please note some subjects will be carrying out revision ahead of external exams or the next round of mock exams, whilst other subjects will be setting new learning. Lessons are tailored to best meet the needs of the subject and students and will include a combination of teaching and learning strategies / tasks, such as narrated power points, work booklets, reading activities, learning videos, GCSEpod assignments and worksheets to complete, to name only a few.

An appropriate amount of home learning is being set to reflect the required number of subject hours that would be taught in school. Teachers are either setting work at the beginning of the week or in accordance with student timetables.
For some KS5 lessons, teachers might opt to deliver ‘live’ lessons during scheduled lessons. This is subject dependant. If this is the case, subject teachers will make contact with their class via Teams to provide instruction.
For any further enquiries, please email homelearning@castlerocksch.uk clearly stating the problem and the student name / year group.
