Increasingly concerned about schools' ability to get back to 'normal' for the start of the new academic year.
The guidelines the Govt are currently insisting on are making it very difficult for a lot of schools to open for those year groups that are supposed to be back in school.
For example my local primary school have pretty much given up on the idea of years 1 & 6 returning to school this academic year under the current guidelines. In part this is due to an increase in the number of children of key workers now attending school . There is a very obvious question that raises in my mind, but one I am prepared to park for the moment.
If the Govt insist on maintaining the current guidelines into the new academic year, then there will have to be a system of part time schooling for everyone, except probably those children whose parents are key workers.
I'm not certain how many parents have taken this on board yet.
The alternative is a return to the way schools were pre coronavirus, a big decision for the Govt to take, bearing in mind we will be moving into autumn/winter when it might be expected that the virus might make a return.
