As the Coronavirus spreads, we’re aware that more schools are closing and pupils’ learning is being disrupted. Parents, carers and teachers are looking for ways to ensure the continuity of education during school closures so that no children miss out on valuable learning time.

We’d like your support to get this message out. Please let your wider school and leadership team know about this opportunity so that you can all share it with your school community.
