There is no longer a legal requirement for people with coronavirus (COVID-19) infection to self-isolate or routinely test. However children who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people. They can return to school when they no longer have a high temperature, and they are well enough to attend. Remote learning will not be provided in this instance.

Students with a positive COVID-19 test result should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days, which is when they are most infectious. Where appropriate, we will support those who need to self-isolate because they have tested positive to learn from home if they are well enough to do so via the Google Classroom platform.

The remote education provided will be equivalent in length to the core teaching pupils receive in school.

The amount of remote education provided should be, as a minimum:

KS1: 3 hours a day on average, with less for younger children

KS2: 4 hours a day
