Teachers will need to address children’s mental health issues and reintroduce children to school... there will need to be work on nurturing and bringing children back together as a class. This must be the priority - not whether they are meeting national end of year expectations!

I just think 'What do teachers normally do?' They have a sense of what they want children to learn. They work out what their gaps are and then they do their best to fill in the gaps through whatever version of pedagogy they think is most effective.

Schools need more funding given directly to them to invest where it will have most impact for their unique groups of children.

the last thing I wanted to do was make a parent feel ‘I can’t cope’ because that’s what they were doing. That’s not right.

we’ve got 30% of children who are Pupil Premium and we have got others who are not far off, they haven’t got access to the technology, and neither has the school.
