Remote Education
It is unlikely that pupils will have to access remote education. This pages, and those linked to it, provide an overview of our remote education offer throughout the pandemic and restricted attendance.
Welcome to Spa's Remote Education page which outlines what Remote Education looks like at Spa and support for accessing this. For information regarding Free School Meals or Critical Worker provision, please contact school. We are always able to help by contacting emailing us through admin@askernspa.doncaster.sch.uk, 01302 (700332) or by posting a message on Teams.
For support regarding Remote Education contact admin@spaacademyaskern.com

1. Daily LIVE Check-In
Every day, pupils have a daily LIVE check-in on Microsoft Teams. Login to Microsoft Teams five minutes before the meeting starts so that you are ready for this.
Year 3: 9.30am Year 5: 9.00am
Year 4: 9.15am Year 6: 8.45am
2. Watch your lessons
- On Mondays, at 9am, all lessons for the week will be provided. Head to 'Assignment' and 'Assigned' to review your assignments.
- There are 4 for each day (Reading, Writing, Maths & Topic) to be watched and then have the 'assignments' returned.
- Each 'assignment' with a pre-recorded teaching video.
We use pre-recorded teaching videos, following our parent survey, to support you in being able to access all lessons around your own childcare and working from home.
