‘First class support for learning from home’

-

PARENTS BEN and Helen Evans believe the remote learning support their children are currently receiving is first class.

“I feel incredibly grateful to the school for having that structure,” enthused Ben, whose daughters Lily, aged nine, and four-year old Poppy attend Broadclyst Community Primary.

Wife Helen, a university web team leader, continued: “The community thing is really big for us. To see them interactin­g with their friends and seeing relationsh­ips they have with teachers is great.”

The Devon EdTech Demonstrat­or School provides advice, guidance and training including webinars, resources, peer to peer discussion­s on how to best use technology as well as remote learning provision for pupils during the pandemic.

Ben said: “It’s been great fun actually going back to school for ourselves. We do baking with the Bishops on a Friday afternoon.

“All the parents join in together with the baking and it becomes a discussion point in the community as well.”
