What is the College doing to minimise the risk from Covid-19?
It is important to recognise that we minimise not eliminate risk. We have students in bubbles, which work in zones to reduce the numbers of contacts. Bubbles are designed to allow students to work in situations where social distancing is not possible. The risk of infection is reduced by limiting the number of people that a person is exposed to. Students will work in a group in one room for the majority of their time. We have reduced or eliminated shared resources. Entrances, exits, break and lunch are staggered. Handwash stations, sanitisers, tissues and lidded bins are provided.
How long will the ‘Covid’ timetable go on for?
We do not have a fixed date, though it is likely to remain in place into 2021 labing menos. This will be determined by the success of the efforts to control the virus at a national and global level.
Is my son/daughter getting a full curriculum?
We have created an interim timetable which allows students to study all their subjects. There have to be some changes in some subjects, especially practical ones.
What should I do if my child shows symptoms of Covid-19
Keep them at home. Organise for them to be tested (at a drive through for speed). Inform the College of the symptoms and then of the result of the test.
What happens if there is a diagnosed case of Covid-19 in the College Community?
We will work with Public Health England and follow their advice and recommendations. The response could be that a group of students is asked to self-isolate for 14 days. Staff have been asked to prepare work on Canvas which can be switched on at short notice should we have to revert to home learning.
If you are contacted by us as your son / daughter is identified as needing to self-isolate you must organise for them to return home immediately. They must not use public transport and should walk, cycle or be collected by you. They cannot go to a relative’s home. They must remain at home for the time directed (which is 14 days from the time of potential exposure). At present the guidance is that they should not seek a test unless they develop symptoms and that other household members do not need to self-isolate unless symptoms develop.
Should your son / daughter or a family member show symptoms then the household must self-isolate for 14 days or until the affected person receives a negative tests result.
In both scenarios it is crucial that families maintain communications with the College, this is best done by MYED.
What happens if there is a general rise in infection rates locally or nationally?
We will follow the expectations from the government. This might include partial or complete closure, with a return to remote working. Students could be asked to attend College on a 2 week rota.
Do students and staff have to wear masks?
At present there is no expectation for anyone to wear a mask in schools except where there is a high rate of infection locally. Ernest Bevin College’s stance at present is that people may wear a mask should they wish to. Should the guidance change then we will of course adapt our position, for example it could be that masks would be worn in communal areas. Any mask must be properly stored when not being worn.
What does College day look like?
Students will arrive and sanitise or wash their hands. They will then walk to assembly or their teaching room for pastoral period. Students in years 7 sa 11 will have 5 lessons in that room for 4 days of the week. Break and lunch are staggered and only one group will be in the playground or serving area at a time. On their activity day students will move around the College to Games, DT and Computing.
Why does my son appear to have changed tutor groups?
There has been a long term plan to move from organising tutor groups by ability towards a system of mixed ability groups with setting organised at subject level where appropriate. These mixed groups are planned to have an equal range of ability and need. This is the system which is operated in the majority of schools. Lessons are then taught in ability sets (where several tutor groups are blocked together) or in mixed ability groups. This process of change at Ernest Bevin has been ongoing since summer 2019 and has nothing to do with the pandemic. Students in the purple and green cohorts have started the College with this arrangement, though there have been some minor changes in the purple cohort.
The yellow tie and blue tie classes have been completely reorganised to create mixed ability groupings. The red ties were already in broadly mixed groups since changes were made last September. Sa tuig 12 ug 13 the tutor groups may reflect the courses taken or are mixed.
During the ‘Covid’ timetable students in years 7 sa 9 are taught in their mixed ability tutor groups. Students in years 10 ug 11 are in groups which reflect their options and will be mixed ability in the main. In years 12 ug 13 the students are taught in the subject classes, which have entry requirements. Once we revert to our planned timetable setting will restart.
What about extracurricular activities?
Initially the College focussed on welcoming students back to their core curriculum. As of October we are able to allow a limited range of activities which include the library after College, table tennis, volleyball, year 8 breakfast club and the Combined Cadet Force. All activities are ‘bubble secure’.
How will I know how my son or daughter is getting on?
Students are being assessed and reports will be distributed via MYED in the usual way. We are unable to plan parents evenings in their traditional format for the foreseeable future. We will organise remote conversations with families after reports are produced. It is vital that families have the opportunity to discuss student progress.
What else can I do to support my son / daughter?
There is a range of online resources available such as My Maths and GCSE pod, which students have accounts with. They should all be encouraged to use Canvas, where homework assignments are set and in many cases submitted. Many courses will have materials within the Canvas course. There are additional resources available on Oak Learning and BBC bitesize.

Bulletin alang sa Pasko sa mga ginikanan 2020
Gihangyo namon nga makahimo ka nga adunay usa ka makalingaw nga holiday bisan sa panahon sa krisis.
Nagpadala kami mga pipila ka mga ideya sa mga kalihokan nga mahimo’g maapil sa mga estudyante sa panahon sa pahulay sa Pasko sa Pagkabanhaw.
Communications
Ang MYEd nagpabilin nga panguna nga paagi sa pagkontak sa mga pamilya ug kolehiyo. Kini labi ka hinungdanon kay sa kaniadto tungod kay ang kolehiyo adunay mga kawani sa usa ka kadena – busa ang mga telepono dili kasagaran gitubag. Ang mga heads sa tuig direkta nga nagpadalag mensahe sa mga pamilya ug makatubag dayon sa mga mensahe nga gipadala. Parents can also contact school via collegeclosure@ernestbevin.london which is monitored daily. Ang mga estudyante mahimo’g mensahe sa mga magtutudlo bahin sa ilang gimbuhaton pinaagi sa Canvas.
Ang mga sulat ug mensahe gi-archive sa website sa kolehiyo.
Adunay usa ka live helpdesk function sa home page sa website, kini gipahinungod sa pagsuporta sa mga isyu sa ICT.
Ang iskedyul sa eskeleton
Gipadayon namon ang kolehiyo nga magamit alang sa mga huyang nga mga estudyante ug mga anak sa mga yawe nga mamumuo sa pagsira. Kini nga probisyon nag-agi sa pagsira sa Pasko. Kung sa imong hunahuna ang imong anak angayan alang niini palihug kontaka ang collegeclosure@ernbestbevin.london.
Libre nga Pagkaon sa Pag-eskwela
Nagpadayon kami sa paghatag og libre nga pagkaon alang sa mga estudyante nga kwalipikado. Ang tanyag sa sinugdanan pinaagi sa koleksyon gikan sa kolehiyo. Ang mga Voucher gipadala karon nga diretso sa mga pamilya nga gigamit ang WONDE. Ang libre nga probisyon sa pagkaon gipadayon sa piyesta opisyal. Usa ka nasudnon nga sistema nga gitawag EDENRED ang mokuha sa pag-apod-apod sa mga voucher gikan sa Lunes 20 Abril. Kung nausab ang imong kahimtang ug sa imong hunahuna ang imong anak mahimo na karon nga kwalipikado alang sa libre nga pagkaon palihug pakigkita pinaagi sa collegeclosure@ernestbevin.london.
Gamit sa kanvas
Maswerte kami nga gigamit ang Canvas aron mapadayon ang edukasyon alang sa mga estudyante. Dili kini makapuli sa tinuud nga pagtulon-an, apan gitugotan niini ang mga magtutudlo nga magtakda ug makadawat sa trabaho, magpadayon sa usa ka pakigpulong sa mga estudyante ug magpadayon sa usa ka lebel sa pakiglambigit sa pagkat-on nga lisud kaayo bisan 10 mga tuig na ang milabay. Ang kolehiyo anaa sa usa ka mas taas nga kurbada sa pagkat-on.
Adunay maayo kaayo nga mga panig-ingnan sa mga estudyante nga nakahimog daghang paggamit sa Canvas. Sa tuig 11 daghan kami nga mga estudyante nga nagsumite sa daghang buluhaton nga nagpakita sa pag-uswag nga ilang nahimo. Ang pagpamuhunan sa ilang oras sa panukiduki, molabaw sa naandan nga sukod sa ilang mga hilisgutan ug gipasibo kaayo sa lisud nga mga kahimtang.
Ang canvas ma-access sa app (Canvas – developer mao ang Panudlo) nga sa kombinasyon sa WORD ug PowerPoint apps nagtugot sa pagtrabaho gikan sa usa ka mobile phone. Kini mapuslanon sa mga panimalay diin ang pag-access sa mga laptop ug mga PC limitado.
Nagtrabaho kami pag-ayo kauban ang mga pamilya aron suportahan ang mga estudyante sa pag-access sa ilang trabaho.
Suporta
Kini tin-aw nga usa ka lisud kaayo nga panahon alang sa tanan nga mga estudyante, layo sa mga higala, kolehiyo ug ang mga kalihokan nga ilang gikalipay. Nagpadayon kami nga nagtanyag suporta pinaagi sa telepono sa mga estudyante. Nakigkontak kami sa mga pamilya pinaagi sa MYEd ug pinaagi sa telepono aron pagsuta sa maayong kahimtang. Kung adunay imong kabalaka bahin sa kaayohan o kaluwasan sa usa ka estudyante palihug ipadala ang mensahe sa DSL@ernestbevin.london.
Balik sa kolehiyo?
Sa kini nga yugto wala kami'y timailhan sa usa ka petsa alang sa pagbukas sa kolehiyo. We are awaiting instruction from the government.
