Whereas we’re surrounded by schools offering small group teaching equating to 10-18 hours for each child, over the remaining term

I’m only talking state here, ours is a bog std deprived area comp where a lot of kids aren’t doing any work, my child’s Jan mocks where all 7-9’ s she now averages 45min to an hours work a day as she only has to hand in 2/3 pieces of work each week

Tell me I’m not the only one

My Y10 is getting a 30 min session once a week.. Nothing academic, it's for mental health. Woefully inadequate imo. Online work takes an average of 2 hours a day. Rarely marked and feedback given.

Our year 10s are getting no teaching in school and just a few hours before summer in school so you aren't alone. The online work takes about an hour a day. State comp.

Mine are y8 and y9 but obviously y9 is in y10 in September and not looking like there will be much in school then either.

There are lots of resources online, might not be bad to start a page of resources for Y10s by subject, and by board. Maybe, even try and access Student Room

Might be due to staffing

Also staff can’t be online doing all that jazz and in school

You're not the only one. It's taking DD about an hour to do the set work, some days a bit more, she's been offered a few Google Meets before the end of term. She goes to an outstanding school in a naice area, I'm disappointed and concerned.

Same here. With vague idea that in July they may try and do some small group stuff. To be honest though I can see why, my ds has a full timetable every day, gets feedback, teachers very responsive. It's working quite well. Why change it for the last 2 weeks of term?

You're not. Very similar here.
