Staff at a primary in the Cotswolds and a secondary in Manchester describe their feelings about Monday’s resumption
Glyn Jones, the headteacher of Blue Coat primary school in the Cotswolds market town of Wotton-under-Edge, sums up his mood as “apprehensive excitement” as he and his staff prepare for the “big bang” return. On Monday, 300 children aged four to 11 will climb up the sloping drive and face-to-face learning will resume for the whole school.
“We’re really looking forward to seeing the children,” says Jones. “The staff will be there to welcome them back as they come up the drive. We care about them deeply. We want the best for them and know that education makes a difference to their present and future.
