Advice from three major education unions has urged schools to focus in the shorter term on ensuring children feel safe and supported. It also asks schools to drop formal performance monitoring of staff during the coronavirus crisis.
Joint advice has been published by the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), National Education Union (NEU), and the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), covering safe staffing, supporting pupils at home, and referring safeguarding concerns.
And separate distance learning guidance has been published by the NEU. In this advice, the NEU urges schools to facilitate a maximum of two to three hours’ work a day for home schooled pupils. It also says that routine marking or grading of work should not be carried out at this time.
