The Department for Education has updated guidance on supporting children to learn at home, which includes links to a variety of learning apps for parents to use with their children as well as guidance and advice for parents at home with their children during the current situation.
Some schools may provide topic and project work for children whilst schools are closed due to coronavirus. For further details, please check your school’s website.
For those of you who are teaching children at home, the School Services team has produced a list of some of the websites available to support your child during home learning.
Please note, these sites and their content have not been quality assured by the City of York Council.
