Remote learning for schools
All primary and secondary schools and sixth-form colleges in Haringey have now moved to remote learning, in line with the national lockdown rules.
Children of key workers and vulnerable children are still able to attend their school or college as normal.
Exams and vocational assessments will go ahead as planned this month (January 2021).
As a council, we are working closely with schools to support them through these arrangements, which are due to last at least until February half-term.
We have also launched our Digital Divide Appeal in partnership with Haringey Giving (external link) to help support children and young people who don’t have regular access to laptops, WiFi and other technological support at home.
Early years settings – such as alternative provision, nurseries and special schools – will remain open, while vulnerable children and children of key workers can continue to use childminders, registered childcare and other childcare activities (including wraparound care).
For the purposes of informal childcare, parents can form a childcare bubble with one other household where the child is under 14. Nannies can continue to provide in-the-home services too.
University students should return to face-to-face learning as planned and be tested twice upon arrival or self-isolate for 10 days if they are undertaking training and studying for the following courses:
- Education (initial teacher training)
- Medicine and Dentistry
- Subjects allied to Medicine/Health
- Social Work
- Veterinary Science
- Courses which require Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Body (PSRB) assessments and/or mandatory activity which is scheduled for January and cannot be rescheduled
Students not studying these courses should, wherever possible, remain where they are and start their term online until at least mid-February.
See the Government guidance on returning safely to higher education in the Spring term (external link).
Those eligible to attend are allowed to leave their homes for childcare or education reasons.
The government said these restrictions are expected to last until the middle of February, if the situation in hospitals improves.
