40% of low-income families who responded to our #CostoftheSchoolDay survey were missing at least one essential resource for learning.

One third of people most worried about money told us they had to buy a laptop, tablet or other device during lockdown.

Children and young people told us about the impact of missing resources on their work.

We've also heard about the solutions that some schools and local authorities are putting in place to help families.

Our report includes recommendations on how schools, LAs and Government can support families with costs and resources. We encourage them to work together to ensure all children are provided with the learning tools they need to take part in the curriculum.

Providing such support has really made a difference to children and family experiences of learning in lockdown.
