SENT FROM GARETH DRAWMER, HEAD OF ACHIEVEMENT AND LEARNING

Dear Colleagues,

We are aware that there has been a mass of information, announcements and updated guidance coming out of the DfE this week.  To support your planning, we have summarised the key updates and guidance for you in the document attached above.

The document is structured in two elements:

• Blue – summary of DfE announcements
• Purple – summary of the key actions for schools from the Restricting attendance during the national lockdown: schools Guidance for all schools in England published yesterday afternoon

We have tried to group the information into themes to make it easier to read.

Please do refer to the full documents for the full guidance, we have put links throughout the document to simplify this for you as much as we can.

Summary of DfE Announcements and Guidance for Schools wc 4th January

Warm regards,
