Remote Learning at High Park School
At High Park School, we are committed to ensuring that all pupils continue to access meaningful, engaging learning opportunities whether they are learning on-site or at home. In exceptional circumstances where pupils are unable to attend school, and where this aligns with government guidance, we will provide high-quality remote learning that reflects each pupil’s individual needs, strengths, and next steps.
Remote education is always a last resort and is only considered when a decision has already been made that attending school is not possible. Where pupils remain well enough to learn, we will work collaboratively with families to ensure continuity, security and progress across all areas of development.
When Remote Learning May Be Needed
There are two main circumstances where remote education may be provided:
· School closures or restricted attendance, where access to the school site is limited.
· Individual circumstances, where a pupil cannot attend school but is able to engage in learning from home.
Our planning follows the Department for Education’s guidance on remote education, which can be read here:

Our Approach
At High Park School, remote learning is personalised and linked to the pupil’s pathway Pre-Formal, Semi-Formal or Formal ensuring learning remains meaningful, developmentally appropriate, and aspirational. Provision may include:
· Online learning platforms selected to meet pupils’ communication, sensory and cognitive needs
· Learning activities designed to promote independence, communication, emotional regulation and Preparation for Adulthood
· Bespoke resources to support learners in maintaining routines and reducing anxiety
· Support for families to create a home learning environment that reflects the pupil’s EHCP outcomes and long-term aspirations
