Supporting schools with the ongoing impact of COVID-19 

5 January 2021

With the announcement of a national lockdown and further school closures from the UK government, we remain committed to supporting teachers, learners and families so that learning can continue during this period.  

We are closely following guidance from the UK government, and as the situation unfolds we will keep you updated, particularly with regards to our general and vocational qualifications.  

For the all the latest news, guidance, and resources for managing the ongoing impact of COVID-19, including support for remote teaching and learning, please visit our COVID-19 support pages.
