No plan to reimburse schools for increased costs. Brilliant 
Lots of 'where possible' but it would seem this is only 'where it is also possible for all pupils to be in school' - so NOT possible then...
"Schools with the capacity to do so..."
So, no schools then?

This one should be fun. Staggered break and lunch with 7 year groups? A teacher has Year 7 who go to break first, they finish their break just as Year 11 are going to break - this teacher has Year 11 next and then another Year 7 class. Anyone like to timetable this?
Pretty sure this means wiping down textbooks between lessons... going to be even more fun for practical subjects.
I guess I have a choice between laugh or cry. The experience of organising the London Olympics - in a major city with intergrated transport - should give hope that we can cobble something together for large rural schools...
An important one for Geography teachers planning GCSE fieldwork and A level NEA prep
OK... so the guidance here is "we'd really like you to do this but f*ck knows how you'll pull it off". Helpful.
Nice to know that someone has been reading my @tes articles ;-)
This whole section seems to be "You know those headlines on reducing the curriculum? Don't do that" Which is good...
"Unless you really need to" which might give too much wriggle room for those trusts chasing their rankings.

Very exciting - setting up the sequel here "The return of the vague guidance"
Well... yes?
OK, this seems sensible - but nothing we wouldn't have thought of. Again, I think they've been reading my @tes pieces...
The mythical laptops are back!
And that seems to be it.
