Remote Learning

All homework and coursework assignments will be posted in Google Classroom, which is linked to each student's school timetable. 

We know some students will have difficulty accessing technology at home and we will make sure you do not fall behind. Please contact the school if you do not have suitable online access and we will do our very best to arrange time after school for you to complete any homework assignments posted on Google Classroom.

There may be times when students wish to contact teachers directly on Google Classroom or through email. We politely remind all students this interaction should follow the etiquette guidelines and language must remain professional, polite and kind.  It is important that all students adhere to the rules and expectations at all times.

The Remote Learning - Student Guidance provides full explanation how to log onto Google, access homework and submit work successfully. Please download a copy of the guidance below.

GCSE Pod

All Year 10 and 11 students have been given access to an online learning program called GCSE POD. The online program offers a wide range of helpful tutorials to help enhance subject knowledge and boost confidence in the run up to GCSE exams. All students are able to sign into their account by visiting www.gcsepod.com and using the instructions in this guide. Please click on the quick start guidance below.

Severe Weather Arrangements

In the event of severe weather Rainham School for Girls will endeavour to remain open where possible. If the school site is inaccessible or if students cannot make it into the school, work will be posted on Google Classroom to allow students to work from home. 

Communication

Any decision relating to changes to the school opening times will be added to the school website. The school site will be assessed and an announcement will be added to the website and our social media platforms by 6.30am. Parents and students should check the website regularly for further updates.

If weather conditions deteriorate during the school day, we will contact parents via email to inform them of the situation.  Students will be kept fully informed of the decision and guidance given as to the next steps.

Transportation and reporting an absence

Parents are advised to check transportation information if their son/daughter travels by public transport.  If the school is open and your son/daughter cannot get in due to the weather, parents should telephone the school to report their  absence.
