This episode looks at the plight of our vulnerable learners as schools re-open once again to all students after the third Covid-19 national lockdown. We consider barriers to learning and wellbeing that vulnerable learners face and what our priorities must be coming out of Lockdown 3.0.

We discuss: what we have learnt about effective remote education, teaching & lessons, the cancelled Summer 2021 exams, student progression, working with families, SEND, questions to ask ahead of full school re-opening & more. We also talk wellbeing & mental health, including attendance, anxiety, county lines, safeguarding issues, pastoral care and more.
