From where I’m standing, as a parent and school governor, all I see are teachers already absolutely exhausted to the point of breakdown, many considering leaving the profession for good. I see huge challenges in recruitment going forward, particularly in attracting the brightest and best to deprived areas in our region.
And I see school budgets squeezed and supply chains constricted. I keep hearing that schools have run out of lateral flow tests.
What about dealing with that first, Prime Minister?
Speaking to Robert Halfon MP, the chair of the Commons Education Select Committee last week, Mr Johnson said that lengthening the school day is “the right thing to do”.

Boris urges patience over call for ending school bubbles on July 19
July 2, 2021
LONDON: Boris Johnson has urged parents, pupils and Tory MPs to be “patient” over calls to end isolation for entire school “bubbles” when lockdown restrictions in England are lifted later this month.
Former party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith is among 48 MPs to have signed a letter to the Prime Minister warning that the current policy is “disproportionate” and “unsustainable”.
The call came after official data showed that 279,000 children in England are isolating because of possible contact with a Covid-19 case.
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has suggested that school bubbles will end when classes return after the summer holidays in September.
