## Description

The Department is planning for the full return of pupils in September, whilst also setting the expectation of a strong remote learning offer in the event that a coronavirus \(COVID-19\) outbreak in a school, or local outbreak, may require school closures in the autumn term\. This would create a localised dependence on remote education and an immediate surge in the demand for technology to deliver this\.
