Remote learning
We are committed to providing high-quality remote education when it is not possible, or is contrary to government guidance, for some or all pupils to attend school.Remote education should only ever be considered as a last resort where a decision has already been made that attendance at school is not possible, but pupils are able to continue learning.
We will approach these situations using the Department for Education's guidance on remote education.
