Return to school
There is an argument to begin the summer holidays early ie June 1st. A lot of pupils not engaging in virtual lesson and are therefore still missing out on their learning. The “novelty” of virtual learning will soon wear of for others and we lose more pupils from school engagement. Bring holidays forward and give everyone a bit of breathing space.... with compliance to government guidelines in 6 weeks we should hopefully be in a better place to get pupils back into school on a phased return from August 1st. Last two weeks of July used for teaching staff to get back into school and familiarise with new learning and teaching environment ie one way systems, smaller classes, phased return of pupils, use and distribution of PPE and overall planning and management of new procedures.
Why the contribution is important
To re engage pupils back into their learning and make positive moves towards re starting school life.

Children should not be permitted to use public transport to go to school.

Children need their education and it is selfish to keep them off any longer.
Key worker children are being cared for on a rotational basis therefore coming into contact with many adults rather than just the one teacher and same group of children.
And also just to add nursery to P1 transition is just as important as p7 to 1st year.
