Help with managing student workload

Guidelines

As a guide, the City of Edinburgh recommends up to 20 hours of learning during the week. Each week, there are timetables published on the S1 Learning @ Home and S2 Learning @ Home pages. These are helpful guides that give weekly learning a structure and balance. We hope these are useful for you too.

What do I do when things are not going well?

We are aware that each student’s distance learning is different and can change quickly. With this in mind, if circumstances change for you and/or your child, please contact Support for Pupil Leaders by emailing admin@tynecastle.edin.sch.uk. We can provide support for you and your child in a variety of ways as a school or through the support of our partner agencies. We are particularly keen to hear if access to a device (large phone, tablet, laptop or computer) becomes a problem so please do let us know.

Similarly, if student workload becomes overwhelming, please contact subject teachers who will support you to find a solution and help your child regain their confidence. Teachers can be contacted through School Emails or Teams. Furthermore, you may also wish to contact your child’s Pupil Support Leader through admin@tynecastle.edin.sch.uk as they are always there to help.
