Education Guidance for Education and Childcare Settings

It's arrived.

Are the keyworker provisions and wrap around care even mentioned in the doc?

I don't believe so.

I think there’s a line about keyworker groups also being restricted to a maximum of 15, but that’s it.

It does mention them, saying that schools can still prioritise these groups, before N, R and y1 (and in this section it doesn't mention Y6 at all).

Christ on a bike. I thought education was a shit show before the covid outbreak--no trust in teachers, chronic underfunding, ever changing goalposts, toxic leaders. But this is something else.

We are being fed to the wolves.

So DfE (or at least their scientific advisor is) are now backtracking and saying that it is a draft. What a bunch of loons - could not organise a piss up in a brewery!

FFS. Of course when the schools don’t open on June 1 it’s going to be the fault of teachers not the bunch of clowns in government.

That headteachers letter is all over my fb now. Friends keep reposting it. I have to bite my tongue.
