FAQs
Lessons will be delivered via MS Teams and other software that will enable teachers to conduct formative assessment and make the lessons interactive.
Live lessons are 40 minutes at KS2 (Y3-6) and 45 minutes at Secondary.
This differs based on year group and key stage. As a guide, students in Y3/Y4 have 3 live lessons a week for Maths and English, whereas students in Secondary will have the same subjects at 3 or 4 times a week. Other than the live lessons, students will be given work to complete for homework as well as independent study time during the school day.
All lessons are live delivered by specialist teachers to students at scheduled times. Students interact with the teacher either by microphone or in our live classroom chat. All lessons are recorded. You will have access to all the lesson resources for each class.
A book list will be provided to parents once their child has enrolled with the school. Careful consideration has been taken to ensure that only books which are required need to be purchased. Not all subjects will be requesting parents to purchase textbooks.
At Palm Global Academy we are very conscious of that fact that too much screen time is not good for the students. Our daily timetable reflects this and so does the methods of how students complete their work. It is expected that in most subjects, students will complete work in exercise books and upload images of their work when completed. Using the features in our various platforms, teachers will be able to provide feedback in a variety of ways including annotation, audio and video.
