BBC programmes to boost remote learning
The BBC will start broadcasting educational programmes for both primary and secondary-aged pupils from 11 January while schools are closed during the lockdown.
It said there would be three hours of primary-aged shows including BBC Live Lessons and Bitesize Daily Lessons on its CBBC channel each weekday. This will include content such as Horrible Histories, Art Ninja and Operation Ouch as well as occasional Celebrity Supply Teacher lessons.
BBC Two will broadcast two hours of shows each week day for secondary-aged students, designed to support the GCSE curriculum.
