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 research suggests that eight out of 10 people (80%) back banning cars in streets around schools to encourage children to travel by healthier alternatives.
The government is proposing that schools appoint a lead governor with designated responsibility for school food, as part of its reforms to school food standards.
The government has set out plans to reform School Food Standards - the first time in over a decade - and is launching a nine-week consultation on the changes.
The government is launching a new programme to support schools in areas of high knife crime and improve pupils’ safety on their way to and from school.
A school food improvement programme is set to launch in Birmingham in 2026, working with schools to improve the quality and culture of food throughout the school day for children and young people across the city.
