Coronavirus toolkit - return to school

Schools and parents/carers can use these resources to prepare for the return to school in the autumn.

Although some children have returned to school already, for many, the new autumn term will be their first time stepping into a classroom since lockdown began. Understandably, this may be a strange or worrying time for some children, parents and carers, and schools.

We know that supporting children’s mental wellbeing during the return to school is a key priority for many of you. We’ve collected together lots of useful resources in this toolkit, all focused on making sure the return to classrooms in the autumn is a mentally healthy one.

We’ve split the list of resources into two:

• one section is full of resources for parents and carers, featuring activities and tips for how to prepare their child for re-starting school in September
• the other section is focused on resources for schools for use in the autumn term or when planning for the new school year.
