Responding to the Education Secretary’s announcement on the delayed re-opening of schools, Jasmine Whitbread, Chief Executive of London First, said:
“As a priority, the Government must increase the level of support for those learning at home and ensure equipment reaches those most in need so that schools can deliver the national curriculum to all children who have their learning disrupted.
“The Government must also learn the lessons from the summer and put forward a plan for how exams will be managed this year, avoiding the grading chaos of 2020.”
