Schools are essential, but what about education provision for the children who are isolating? The open/close narrative is so limited as it ignores the reality for so many families in the coming weeks.

Stagger return to school...prioritise!
Put distance learning plan in place for those who can stay at home.
Plan a phased return, responsive to regional case numbers.
Ensure rapid testing and tracing for pupils and teachers.
Increase teachers for supply panel.
