Our school has now closed for most children. We will remain open for the children of key workers and vulnerable children. The education of all of our children will continue. Our website has remote learning information for parents: https://t.co/HnquPXfp9R #Education #Norfolk

@CharlesDarwinFS - March 20th 2020

We know that studying from home full-time will be new for our families. So we have published a round-up of information about remote learning. All of our schools also have information on their websites: https://t.co/M2bmecmhS8 #Norfolk #Suffolk #Education

@CharlesDarwinFS - March 20th 2020

We have now updated our Q&A to include information about key workers. If you're not sure about whether you're a key worker, we hope this helps. Our schools will also be contacting their families directly: https://t.co/cWBqfagb1S #Education #Norfolk #Suffolk

@CharlesDarwinFS - March 20th 2020

@CharlesDarwinFS - March 19th 2020

We understand our families have a lot of questions and we will be using our website and social media to share what we know so far. We have published a Q&A, which we hope you find useful: https://t.co/cWBqfagb1S #Norfolk #Suffolk #Education
