Delay new schooling until Jan’21
Children should not embark on any new learning until Jan ‘21. Children should stay in their current school year until we have established our new normal. Let the phasing back to school be about revision and health and well being, when it is SAFE to do so.
The school year could be changed to run from Jan-Dec and holidays moved about to suit society today and prevent pupil and teacher burnout.
The government should take this golden opportunity to raise the school starting age and implement a Kindergarten stage. There is overwhelming evidence for the benefits of this (See Upstart Scotland’s website). Our school starting age was established in the Victorian era to suit society back then.
Home schooling should not be counted towards anyone’s education. It is far too varied to be considered as such. Everyone is trying their best, schools and parents, but the reality is we are treading water at best.

Why the contribution is important
It is the education of our future generation that is at stake. They should be kept safe and they are all entitled to a proper education. It is our most vulnerable children who will end up suffering the most.
