Remote Learning
Please refer to this page in the event of your child having to quarantine or school closure due to Coronavirus.
COVID 19 has changed how schools provide learning. Due to quarantine procedures, it is possible that groups of children will have to isolate at home at different points in the school year. Our attached Remote Learning
Our remote learning offer aims to support families in maintaining a routine for learning and a sense of belonging to the wonderful school community of Langer Primary Academy. We prioritise the strong relationships between pupils and adults at school and will ask families to support us by providing their child with routines to access every online, live lesson taught to their child’s class.
Please read the remote education provision information in the attachments section.

Google Classroom
Google Classroom is a free web-based platform that allows pupils to view, complete and submit their homework on-line using their Langer Primary Academy email log-ins. This integrates Google services such as Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Calendar and Gmail. Google Classroom saves time and paper, and makes it easy to create classes, distribute assignments, communicate and stay organised! No more lost homework excuses!
Teachers can quickly see who has or hasn’t completed the work, and provide direct, real-time feedback.
Instructions on how pupils access Google Classroom can be viewed below.
If you have any queries or concerns then please speak to your child’s class teacher.
