We recently surveyed parents and carers about our remote education offering. Key findings are:
The vast majority (97%) are happy with the remote education provision and 92% are confident that their child is learning while at home.
94% told us that the work set for their child is at the right level of challenge and 92% agree that it was the right amount.
The vast majority of parents and carers praised the school for their dedication and efforts to make sure their children are still learning while at home.
95% think that students sticking to their normal timetable is the right decision and 90% stated that they are happy with every lesson being taught over a live Google Meet.
Here's some of the lovely things our parents had to say:
"Appreciate everyone’s efforts to deliver lessons on google classroom and the support given to students."
"Fantastic home schooling experience so far, all lessons well prepared and I don't feel as if my child is missing out being at home. Thank you."
"The teachers at Tanfield are doing a brilliant job at online teaching, I feel that my child is enjoying this different type of learning but she is still looking forward to the day when she can go back into school."
"It is excellent."
"You are all doing an amazing job. My children are not missing out on any education in my opinion. Thank you Tanfield School."

"Thank you for all of your hard work you help with your students."
"I'm really proud with the learning my children are receiving. I feel the normal school hours are helping to keep them in a routine.
