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:
"It's been so well organised, Leo is on all day every day and not losing interest and learning all the time. Thanks for your hard work and organisation of it all."
"Excellent provision and far better managed and delivered than other schools in the area!"
"We're very impressed with the home schooling setup."
"Outstanding support from the school to ensure my daughter is prepared for her GCSEs this year. The daily incentives to encourage pupils to attend all lessons is a great idea too."
"The school are handling things very well and doing a great job with continuing to provide education to pupils throughout the pandemic."
"Remote learning has been great throughout lockdown."
"Excellent, head of year checks in all the time with me."
"Thank you for all of your hard work you help with your students."
"The teachers at Tanfield have been very supportive of my child’s needs during this time. Well done Tanfield for continuing with live lessons in yet another lockdown, these are invaluable to our children."
"The school has gone above and beyond and I feel the education standards that are being kept are above other schools in the area."
"You are all doing an amazing job. I'm 100% happy with the work you are setting. And feel my children are not missing out on anything at all. Well done Tanfield School."

"Being provided with a laptop was a great help."
"Much better this time, I like the fact my son is engaging in live lessons with all of his teachers, seeing and/or hearing them makes all the difference as there are clear expectations. I appreciate the amount of time and effort that has gone into making this remote learning a success and allowing my son to continue learning whilst having some kind of normality Mon-Fri. Thank you!"
