What is Remote Education and when might it be accessed?
Attendance is mandatory for all pupils of compulsory school age. Schools should consider providing remote education to pupils in circumstances, when in-person attendance is either not possible or contrary to government guidance.
This might include occasions when school leaders decide that it is not possible for their setting to open safely, or that opening would contradict guidance from local or central government. It could also include occasions when individual pupils, for a limited duration, are unable to physically attend their school but are able to continue learning, for example pupils with an infectious illness.
In these circumstances pupils should have access to remote education as soon as reasonably practicable and in proportion to the length of absence and disruption to their learning.
