Remote education support (DfE link)
Where a class, group or small number of pupils need to self-isolate, or there is a local lockdown requiring pupils to remain at home, the DfE expects schools to have the capacity to offer immediate remote education.

The DfE expects schools to avoid an over-reliance on long-term projects or internet research activities.
