Schools’ Responses to Covid-19: Key Findings from the Wave 1 Survey, 2020

<p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, schools in England closed their buildings to all but vulnerable pupils and the children of key workers on 20 March 2020, representing an unprecedented disruption to the education of children and young people. This project explores schools' responses to the Covid-19 emergency and the impact this is having on pupils and teachers. Data will be collected via two school surveys, each administered to the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) Teacher Voice panel, and all remaining publicly-funded mainstream primary and secondary schools in England. The survey is offered for completion by a senior leader and a number of teachers within each school. The first survey (Wave 1) was administered in schools between 7 and 17 May 2020. The second (Wave 2) will be administered later in the academic year.</p> <p>Further information and research findings may be found on the <a title="NFER Publications and Research" href="https://www.nfer.ac.uk/publications-research/">NFER Publications and Research</a> webpage.</p>
