Supporting your child during remote education
Parents and carers should not feel that they need to set work for their child.
However, the resources below can help you plan your child’s days during this period. These resources may also be useful for pupils and students to use alongside the work provided by their school or college.
If you need further support, we encourage you to speak to your child’s school or college about their remote education offer.
Engaging children at home
The Education Endowment Fund has produced support resources for parents. These include:
- ways to support your child’s reading at home
- advice on how to establish a routine with your child
