At The Rosewood School, we believe every child deserves access to inspiring education – even when they can’t be in the classroom.

Our Remote Education Provision brings learning to life through Zoom and Google Classroom, ensuring pupils stay connected, engaged, and supported from home. This flexible, personalised approach means pupils can:

  • • Keep up with their studies
  • • Interact with teachers and peers
  • • Continue making progress
  • • Feel part of a school community

We work hand in hand with families and home schools to provide wraparound wellbeing and safeguarding support.

Our ultimate goal is simple: to give pupils stability, confidence, and success in their learning, while supporting them to reintegrate back into their home school or move smoothly on to their next step. Where health improves, we will carefully support a transition to a physical TRS placement (KS3 & KS4).

Remote learning at TRS isn’t just a back-up plan – it’s a powerful, engaging way to ensure no pupil is left behind.

Who remote learning is for

Remote learning may be provided for pupils with conditions such as (but not limited to):

  • • Immunosuppression
  • • Surgery / recovery from operations
  • • Cancer
  • • Chronic heart or lung conditions
  • • Eating disorders (under AAEDS guidance, due to W4H measures)
  • • Chronic, life-limiting, or life-shortening conditions
  • • Conditions requiring frequent, invasive, or ongoing hospital treatment

It does not apply to pupils with common childhood illnesses (e.g. colds, chickenpox), where a quick return to school is expected.

Purpose and duration

Remote learning is a short-term intervention following a referral:

  • • Protects the pupil’s health needs and supports treatment/recovery
  • • Provides continuity of education
  • • Helps evidence and signpost longer-term educational pathways where appropriate

Placements are typically:

• 6–12 weeks (subject to medical evidence)
• Intended to support reintegration into the pupil’s home school or a suitable onward setting
• Adaptable if a pupil’s health improves, with supported transition into a Rosewood setting where appropriate

Attendance Expectations

Remote learners follow the same attendance requirements as mainstream schools:

• Attending medical appointments
• Unwell
• Following a reintegration plan back to school

Non-engagement may lead to the placement being reviewed or withdrawn, in line with Rosewood’s attendance policy.
