Remote Education Provision

The Remote Education Provision policy provides clarity and transparency to pupils and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education:

  • If local or national restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home.

  • A whole bubble or cohort self isolating due to an outbreak of coronavirus

  • Individual number of children self isolating because they or a member of their family tested positive.
