Remote Learning - St Dominic's School,
We hold Open Mornings throughout the year. Please register your interest for our next Open Morning by emailing spenfold@stdominicsschool.org.uk
Term Dates and INSET Days for 2026-2027 are now published - click here.
Remote Learning
Our remote learning offer has been developed and adapted in line with Government guidance. High quality remote learning, aligned to the teaching and learning taking place in class, will be made available if a pupil or student is not able to attend school. Homework will also be provided for all pupils and students in the same way.
Remote learning will be accessed using Microsoft Teams, with resources and assignments for pupils and students to complete, in line with those working on site. Pupils and students can submit work directly to their teacher for marking and feedback. Pupils and students will also access live lessons appropriate to their age and individual needs. All pupils and students will also benefit from pastoral check-ins, as required, such as tutor time. Their therapy provision is also delivered remotely in a modified format.
To access Microsoft Teams, pupils and students will use their school Microsoft 365 accounts. They will be familiar with these as they are also used to access technology in school. The email format is
initial.surname@stdominicsschool.org.uk
If you have any problems with logging in at home, please contact your child’s tutor in the first instance.

E-Safety
We recognise that online safety is paramount to working online and having access to technology. As well as the onsite e-safety measures in place in our school, we have also installed extensive security settings and filters in the devices issued to, and used by, the pupils and students for use at home. St Dominic’s has successfully completed a comprehensive remote education training programme, demonstrating its commitment to providing high-quality remote education, keeping pupils and students safe online and supporting their wellbeing during remote teaching and learning. Consequently, our school has achieved Safe Remote Education accreditation and National Online Safety accreditation through National College, every year since the pandemic.
Should you have any difficulties or questions, please contact your child’s tutor in the first instance and your query will be signposted if needed.

Devices and technology for every child
This has been a significant focus of our work so far, incorporating the Department for Education scheme and our Pupil Premium funding. To date, pupils and students who do not have devices at home have been provided with technology to enable them to access learning.
Currently:
All pupils and students in Upper School (Years 8, 9,10, 11 and Sixth Form) have a school issued Windows Laptop for home and school use.
All pupils in Year 7 have access to class sets of Chromebooks.
Music and Performing Arts have access to sets of Chromebooks to use in these lessons.
All pupils in KS2 have dedicated iPads for use in school.
We will continue to work with families of pupils and students who do not have access to appropriate technology at home. The individual’s needs and age will be considered to decide whether an iPad, laptop or Chromebook is the most suitable device and whether any other support is required to access learning from home.
