The Education Policy Institute also calls for a longer school day and summer activities.

In total, it is estimated the lost learning could result in total lost lifetime earnings of between £62bn and £420bn, across the eight million school children in England.

But following school closures before Christmas and in early 2021, losses are likely to have increased further, the report suggests. Other suggestions include summer activities to help well-being, more one-to-one and small group tuition, extra funding for pupils from poorer families and mental health support.

Natalie Perera, chief executive of the EPI, says if the government is committed to dealing with the harmful and long-term consequences of Covid, then it needs to provide a serious funding boost.
