At the end of the week, all of the schools in the UK will close their doors except to the children of essential workers and the most vulnerable children.

Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports, and Emily Maitlis is joined by Damian Hinds, the former Conservative Secretary for Education, Torsten Bell, the chief executive of the think tank the Resolution Foundation and Jannet Sherrif is the executive head teacher at Prince Henry's Grammar School.
