We are publishing these as official statistics from 23 June on Explore Education Statistics.

All education settings were closed except for vulnerable children and the children of key workers due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak from Friday 20 March 2020.

From 1 June, the government asked schools to welcome back children in nursery, reception and years 1 and 6, alongside children of critical workers and vulnerable children. From 15 June, secondary schools, sixth form and further education colleges were asked to begin providing face-to-face support to students in year 10 and 12 to supplement their learning from home, alongside full time provision for students from priority groups.

The spreadsheet shows the numbers of teachers and children of critical workers in education since Monday 23 March and in early years settings since Thursday 16 April.

The summaries explain the responses for set time frames since 23 March 2020.

The data is collected from a daily education settings survey and a twice-weekly local authority early years survey.
