Schools Information

When you can send your child to school during a lockdown:

If your child cannot learn at home (e.g. they cannot understand their schoolwork, you are not able to help them, they do not have what they need such as good internet and a computer at home, or it is too stressful for your family) then you can send them to school. All schools are open for children who need to be there.

What to do if you don’t have a computer or internet?

Talk to your school. They have computers and internet they can give to families.
