Remote Learning

Remote learning is offered in exceptional circumstances and only when deemed appropriate.  Remote learning allows students who are unable to physically attend school, to access the curriculum and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  There are, in addition, some scenarios that may necessitate the setting of remote learning for larger cohorts of students.  Where this is the case, the school will advise parents of this through our normal channels of communication.

The Remote Learning Policy provides greater detail about the aims and eligibility aspects of remote learning access.  The Remote Learning Guide provides parents and students with the information required to access the different channels of remote learning that might be offered.

Virtual Aldridge

We're really proud of our Virtual Aldridge programme, which is an online English and maths GCSE tutoring service.

The main aim of the programme is to provide students with the necessary tools to achieve the best possible grades in their GCSEs, and it's especially useful to those students who may need some extra support to reach their potential. 

The programme is available across all of our Aldridge schools to students in Years 7 to 11. 

At Virtual Aldridge: 

• Students will receive weekly one-hour tutoring sessions in English and/or maths throughout the academic year.
• Sessions are delivered virtually to small groups of three students.
• Sessions take place outside of the school day, in the evenings and at weekends.
• Sessions are taught by expert subject specialist Virtual Aldridge tutors who receive high quality training and development, including in safeguarding.
• Tutors and schools communicate frequently about the learning progress of each student.
• There is a dedicated email address for students and their parents/carers to communicate with the Virtual Aldridge team.
• All Virtual Aldridge online tutoring sessions are FREE to students.

The support provided worth over £500 per student, and tutoring in small groups is one of the best ways to support our students to close any learning gaps they might have.
