Independent Learning

Independent Learning is any activity which pupils are asked to do outside of lesson time, either on their own or with parents / carers. Independent Learning is an important part of school life as it helps students to consolidate and reinforce pupils’ knowledge, understanding and skills.

Independent Learning is set by the teacher on Google Classroom but can be accessed by students and parents via the Satchel website.

A personalised homework calendar is available for all users including students and parents. Once they login, they can only see their own  schedule. There are iPhone and Android apps available for free for students and parents. 

For more information on the amount of Independent Learning that students should expect, and how long this should take, please check the Independent Learning policy. 

 

Setting up a parent account on www.satchelone.com  

Please follow these steps to create an account on www.satchelone.com. Parents need to obtain a code to create an account. They obtain this from their child (see below) or from the school by sending an email requesting a satchel parent code to enquiries@lampton.org.uk 

• To obtain the parent code, the parents' child needs to login to https://www.satchelone.com/login using the “sign in with google” button. They then use their school google email which is the number they use to login to a school computer plus @lampton.org.uk. It will look something like 00001@lampton.org.uk. They then use the same password that they use when they login to a school computer. Instructions on how to do this can be found here (use the section on logging in using single sign in) https://help.satchelone.com/en/articles/2911888-logging-in-as-a-student

Non-Completion of Independent Learning

When Independent Learning has not been completed, or not been completed to an acceptable standard, the class teacher will place the student in ‘Independent Learning Support’.  A text message will be sent to the parent / carer to let them know when the Independent Learning support will be. The Independent Learning support will be for one hour after school on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday. This will be supervised study in an ICT room. The student should then catch up with the work that they failed to produce, and this should be checked by the teacher in the next lesson.
