These FAQs (divided into different categories below) are designed to be read alongside the Department for Education’s coronavirus-related guidance, all of which can be found on gov.uk. They are an attempt to capture the most urgent questions being asked by school and college leaders, to the best of our knowledge and understanding. 

We are reviewing the FAQs on a regular basis – adding new questions as they arise, updating answers to existing questions as information changes, and removing obsolete questions. 

If you have a question which is not covered here, and you are an ASCL member, please email coronavirus@ascl.org.uk, and we will try to find an answer and share it here. 

For colleagues in Wales, please see ASCL Cymru FAQs.
