As of 4 January 2021, all schools have closed to all pupils except children of critical workers and vulnerable children. You must provide remote education to all pupils learning at home.
The DfE now expects schools to use a digital education platform, like Office 365 Education or G Suite for Education, to deliver remote learning.
