DfE publishes list of free resources for home learning
EB News: 08/04/2020 - 07:01
The DfE has published a list of free online educational resources to help children to learn at home.
The list includes subject-specific resources for English, maths, science, PE, wellbeing and special educational needs and disability (SEND).
The DfE says schools may wish to explore this initial list of resources as they consider how they continue to support children’s education.
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said: "We are ensuring parents and schools are able to access high-quality resources to support children to continue learning while they stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives."
New training to empower school staff to improve mental health and wellbeing support for neurodivergent students has been launched by Anna Freud, a mental health charity transforming care for children and young people.
Data from BAE Systems’ annual Apprenticeship Barometer found that 63% of parents said they would prefer their child to choose an apprenticeship over a degree after school.
The work builds on guidance launched by Cardiff Council in autumn 2025, which provides clear and practical advice for schools responding to incidents where weapons are brought onto school premises.
Schools are invited to take part in a practical, hands-on roundtable at Education Business LIVE 2026, exploring the complex relationship between wellbeing, attendance and behaviour in schools.
