The Education Secretary suggested some schools could stay open during the summer holidays to stop kids being held back by the pandemic.
‘We want all those children in those year groups to go into school to speak with their teachers.
‘But also making sure they set the work at the right level, so through the summer holidays children can benefit from learning through those six weeks.’Williamson said the MP was right to highlight ‘the many volunteers, many thousands of volunteers that want to reach out, help our children, in order to be able to have the knowledge to succeed in the future’.
The joint statement, published by the Trades Union Congress , warns that staff will ‘not be protected’ by social distancing if primary schools reopen to more year groups from next month.
