Parent/Carer Consent Form and Pupil Code of Conduct for Live Learning Support

Please read through this code of conduct with your child then answer the questions written at the bottom of the code.

School responsibility
Online live learning support will only be timetabled during normal school hours, through the Google platform.

Sessions will be delivered by subject specialists/class teachers.

The recording of each live learning support session will be stored for up to one year, for GDPR and safeguarding purposes and shared only with the members of staff involved in the live learning support session, the Teaching and Learning Lead/Senior Leadership Team, Safeguarding Lead and GDPR Lead.

Pupil Code of Conduct

These protocols focus on:
1. Using comments
2. Students participating in live learning support tutorials

1. Using Comments
Comments are an essential way for pupils to ask their teacher for help and address any misconceptions. It is essential that every student follows the following instructions:
Pupils should use Standard English in comments to their teachers.

Pupils must not communicate with other pupils using the Comments facility. They should only comment on the work, reply to questions posed by their teachers, contribute to a conversation started by the teacher or write a question/questions they would like to ask. Any inappropriate comments will be recorded in a screenshot and sent to the Head of Year/Senior Leadership Team, who will communicate with parents.

Where there are behaviour concerns, the incident will be recorded by the member of staff and reported to the Head of Year/Senior Leadership Team. Parents/carers will also be notified.

If pupils are not following this protocol, they may be ‘muted’ in Google Meet, by their teacher, so they can no longer make comments.
2. Live online learning support sessions
Live lessons can be a really useful way of allowing students to ask questions about their work and talk to their teachers directly. It is essential that all students follow this protocol.
For primary pupils, parents/carers must be at an appropriate distance to supervise their son/daughter.

Pupils must log onto the live learning support session through their school e-mail. This ensures that the setting’s filtering and monitoring software is enabled.

Pupils must not share the meeting link with any other individuals.

Pupils should be in an appropriate place for the learning support session and be suitably dressed.

Pupils will not be able to share their image on screen.

Pupils and any other person in the house must not record the discussion or take photographs.

All pupils will be muted on entry to the session. Students can signal they have a question by writing ‘question’ in the comment box.

Pupils must speak in a respectful manner and must stay on the topic of the work.

If pupils are not following the protocol: they will be ‘muted’ by their teachers and they may be removed from the classroom and future timetabled sessions. If this happens, the Head of Year/Senior Leadership Team will be made aware, the incident will be recorded and parents/carers will be notified.

Pupils/parents/carers can report any behaviour which is concerning to them by emailing Blake Murray b.murray@gps.hlt.academy
