This week I taught Year 6 after my Y6 teacher had to isolate. Schools will do what they can to stay open, the government should get no credit for this. It’s test and trace system is a mess, there is no funding to cover staff who are off. Tight budgets are on a knife edge...
...This week in school was brilliant but the challenges around keeping schools staffed are going to continue all year. An effective test and trace system that can test staff and children with symptoms and get them back in school ASAP if they’ve not got the virus is vital...
...we want to stay open, we need the government to get its part right so we can do just that. If they don’t then children’s learning will constantly be disrupted this year.
