Returning Schools Sep 2020

How will the school day work?

Schools are expected to teach a broad and balanced curriculum when they return, but the school day may look different to previous years.

Schools are also being asked to:

  • stagger start and finish times, without shortening the number of teaching hours each pupil receives
  • minimise the number of contacts each pupil has during the day, by putting classes or whole year groups into "protective bubbles"
  • avoid assemblies or collective worship with more than one group
