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 finalmente. 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 para 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. No ano 12 e 13 the tutor groups may reflect the courses taken or are mixed.
During the ‘Covid’ timetable students in years 7 para 9 are taught in their mixed ability tutor groups. Students in years 10 e 11 are in groups which reflect their options and will be mixed ability in the main. In years 12 e 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.

Boletim para os pais Páscoa 2020
Esperamos que você possa ter umas férias relaxantes, apesar do tempo de crise.
Enviamos algumas idéias de atividades nas quais os alunos podem participar durante as férias da Páscoa.
comunicações
O MYEd continua sendo o principal meio de contato entre as famílias e a faculdade. Isso é mais importante do que nunca, pois a faculdade possui apenas um esqueleto – para que os telefones geralmente não sejam atendidos. Os chefes do ano são famílias de mensagens diretas e podem responder diretamente às mensagens enviadas em. Parents can also contact school via collegeclosure@ernestbevin.london which is monitored daily. Os alunos podem enviar mensagens aos professores sobre seu trabalho através do Canvas.
Cartas e mensagens são arquivadas no site da faculdade.
Há uma função de suporte técnico ao vivo na página inicial do site, isso é dedicado a apoiar questões de TIC.
Calendário esqueleto
Mantivemos a faculdade disponível para estudantes e filhos vulneráveis de trabalhadores-chave durante o encerramento. Esta disposição ocorre durante as férias da Páscoa. Se você acha que seu filho é elegível para isso, entre em contato com collegeclosure@ernbestbevin.london.
Refeições Escolares Gratuitas
Continuamos a fornecer refeições gratuitas para os alunos que se qualificarem. A oferta foi inicialmente por cobrança da faculdade. Agora, os vouchers estão sendo enviados diretamente às famílias usando o WONDE. O fornecimento de refeições gratuitas é mantido durante o feriado. Um sistema nacional chamado EDENRED assumirá a distribuição de vouchers a partir de segunda-feira 20 abril. Se sua situação mudou e você acha que seu filho agora pode receber refeições gratuitas, entre em contato através do collegeclosure@ernestbevin.london.
Uso da lona
Temos a sorte de usar o Canvas para manter a educação dos alunos. Não pode substituir o ensino real, mas permitiu que os professores definissem e recebessem trabalho, manter um diálogo com os alunos e manter um nível de engajamento na aprendizagem que teria sido muito difícil mesmo 10 anos atrás. A faculdade está em uma curva acentuada de aprendizado.
Existem excelentes exemplos de alunos que fazem bom uso do Canvas. No ano 11 temos muitos estudantes enviando quantidades de trabalho demonstrando o progresso que estão fazendo. Investindo seu tempo em pesquisa, indo além do escopo usual de seus assuntos e se adaptando muito bem às circunstâncias difíceis.
Canvas pode ser acessado por aplicativo (Tela de pintura – desenvolvedor é Instructure) que, em combinação com os aplicativos WORD e PowerPoint, permite o trabalho a partir de um telefone celular. Isso é útil em famílias onde o acesso a laptops e PCs é limitado.
Estamos trabalhando duro com as famílias para ajudar os alunos a acessar seu trabalho.
Apoio, suporte
Este é claramente um momento muito difícil para todos os alunos, longe de amigos, faculdade e as atividades que eles gostam. Continuamos a oferecer suporte por telefone aos alunos. Estamos entrando em contato com as famílias através do MYEd e por telefone para verificar o bem-estar. Se você tiver alguma dúvida sobre o bem-estar ou a segurança de um aluno, envie uma mensagem para DSL@ernestbevin.london.
Voltar para a faculdade?
Nesta fase, não temos indicação de uma data para a reabertura da faculdade. We are awaiting instruction from the government.
