Three years on - Covid-19 impact and recovery

June 2023 marks three years since the first full year groups began to return to face-to-face learning after the first Covid-19 lockdown and partial school closures.

To support schools in your continued recovery efforts, NFER Classroom has created two videos where we discuss and summarise research insights to date around COVID-19 disruption, along with practical evidence-based recommendations on areas of focus schools may wish to consider. Each video covers a specific theme:

  • Wellbeing and mental health of primary- and secondary-aged children and young people
  • Attainment in primary school pupils

They are designed to support teachers and school leaders as well as providing a resource to share with members of the wider school community, including parents and governors, when questions arise around the topics we cover.
