Schools opening in the summer holidays!

[Biscuit0110]

GAVIN WILLIAMSON confirmed the Department of Education is looking into the possibility of propping up summer schools to help pupils catch up with their work after the pandemic.

It seems that after ruling out using the summer holidays to allow the children to catch up, it is now firmly back on the table!

What a positive development - will you send your child to school over the summer?

Many teachers will have partners who've booked time off to be with them knowing they'd be available. Even if a teacher is willing to go in, it's hardly fair on DP who can't change their leave to be sat home alone for two weeks.

The decision on schools opening on Monday will be taken today.
The rest of that article is sensationalist headline grabbing by Sir Michael. There are no plans to keep schools open over the summer day the dfe.
