Unless there is a ‘good reason’ for the absence 🤔
The Education Secretary said children returning to school next school year will be ‘compulsory’
Gavin Williamson said a return to school will be ‘compulsory’ and families may face financial penalties if they keep their children at home – unless there is a ‘good reason’ for the absence. But headteachers and teaching unions have urged against rushing to reintroduce fines as they say schools will need to rebuild confidence among families, rather than punish them.Mr Williamson also suggested on Monday that the full return to school in September would not rely on social distancing in the same way as in pubs.‘It’s not about one metre, it’s not about two metres,’ he told BBC Breakfast, saying that safety would be based on ‘reducing the number of transmission points’ within schools.
On the latest plans, Mr Williamson told LBC: ‘It is going to be compulsory for children to return back to school unless there’s a very good reason, or a local spike where there have had to be local lockdowns
