REMOTE LEARNING - PLEASE READ BELOW
We would like to share with you some key information about remote learning provisions currently available for children not in school and how this provision will be developed over the coming weeks.
Currently, remote learning information and materials are available via our school website on the home learning page. The page gives an overview of our provision and links to good quality learning websites, as well as access to online lessons via the Oak National Academy link.
To access resources from your child's class teacher, you need to click on the blue REMOTE LEARNING link at the very top of the home learning page (under the green banner). Organised by year groups, you can access the material covered in class for each week. Resources may include a combination of video, powerpoints, set worksheets and activities to complete.
It is the Department of Education expectation that primary schools provide up to 3 hours of remote learning for children in KS1 and 4 hours for those in KS2 to access daily. This can be through combinations of school designed resources, access to other educational resources and through relevant educational websites/media. The combination of worksheets, set activities (such as reading a book, writing or doing a practical task) in addition to those requiring a device such as mobile phone, tablet or laptop means that families with more than one child can stagger use of devices more easily.
As there is a national lockdown with a "stay at home" message, we want to fulfil our responsibilities by reducing the number of people coming into school. Therefore, instead of issuing worksheet packs, we are asking that you view worksheets online if you are unable to print them at home and for your child to write the answers in their book or on paper. The school may only consider packs being made available for collection if your family is facing extreme circumstances. If you believe this to be the case, please contact the school office by email to explain the reason for your request to be considered.
The leadership team is currently developing plans to implement remote learning through Google Classrooms. This platform enables teachers to upload work to the children in their class who are learning from home, giving them access to the learning materials covered in school and providing the opportunity for feedback on work completed. Please note, this will not be "live streaming" lessons. I am aware that there are those who would advocate 'lessons delivered live in shared class online spaces', however due to safeguarding and access issues, we do not advocate that approach in our primary school at this time. It is expected that we will move to this new platform in the next few weeks but we are dependent on Google to complete the set up. More information will follow in due course. In the meantime, we hope you continue to learn and be safe whether you are with us in person or in our thoughts.

Welcome to Barry Primary School
Mr Will Brooks, Headteacher
It is my privilege as Headteacher to extend a warm welcome to the Barry Primary website and thank you for visiting. Our school not only strives for high academic standards for children, but we also have the ambition for everyone that is part of our school to achieve their fullest potential in a far broader sense, celebrating creativity, individuality, integrity and diversity.
We are proud of having a long history of putting children at the heart of everything we do and of the close-knit, supportive “family-feel” that visitors to our school always comment on; it is this CARE that forms an integral part of our school vision and values.
Our dedicated staff team, our wonderful children and the excellent relationships that exist between all members of the school community have helped us to achieve our Good status. This website aims to celebrate the broad range of opportunities and achievements at our school, as well as further contributing to the partnership that exists within our lovely learning community.
We hope that you enjoy the site and are as proud of our children’s achievements as we are.
