The government has reviewed remote education guidance and published updated expectations to provide further clarity for schools, colleges, parents and pupils.<\/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>
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\u2019s work with schools.<\/p>
Schools will be expected to check and provide feedback on pupils\u2019 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>
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\u2019s remote education offer.<\/p>
