<p>The government has reviewed remote education guidance and published updated expectations
to provide further clarity for schools, colleges, parents and pupils.</p><p>Where
a class, group or a small number of pupils need to self-isolate, or local restrictions
require pupils to remain at home, we expect schools to have the capacity to offer
immediate remote education.</p><p>Primary schools are expected to provide a minimum
of three hours a day of remote education on average across the school cohort, with
secondary schools expected to provide at least four hours worth per day for pupils.
The number of hours set has been carefully considered and was informed by the department’s
work with schools.</p><p>Schools will be expected to check and provide feedback on
pupils’ work at least weekly. Schools will also be expected to have systems for checking,
at least weekly, whether pupils are engaging with their work, and inform parents immediately
where engagement is a concern.</p><p>In the spring term, the department will also
ask schools to set out details of their remote provision on their websites, so that
parents can better understand their school’s remote education offer.</p><p> </p>
