Firefly

Beaudesert Park uses a remote learning platform called Firefly, which allows teachers and children to access their learning from outside of School. Firefly gives children access to tasks set by teachers and extra online learning resources, as well as announcements and messages from Beaudesert.

Parents will also have access to the portal soon, which will allow them to view their children’s homework tasks, view letters from the School, respond to trips and permission forms and even more.

COVID-19

During the COVID-19 lockdown in the UK in March 2020, Beaudesert used a combination of live lessons, online tasks, video lessons and creative resources to continue providing our academically aspiring curriculum remotely to children in all year groups.

Our ambitious remote learning provisions were received very well by parents and children alike. We are still using Firefly to give children and parents access to School communication at home and we are well prepared to maintain and manage any further periods of remote teaching.

Parent quotes on Remote Learning

“The teachers have been exceptional and have put together such an impressive array of tasks and their feedback has been vital in keeping the children engaged. In essence it has been beyond impressive.”

“The positive can do attitude of the staff at this difficult time both echoes the spirit of the school and is a credit to the school.”

“We have been really impressed with the thought that has gone into making home schooling varied and interesting. I’m sure it would have been much easier just to provide us with a stack of worksheets, but the combination of class meetings, assemblies, online resources and work on paper have kept my lot much more stimulated than they would otherwise have been.”
