My thoughts are with heads over the coming few weeks. Keeping schools open is the right decision, but the logistical challenges will be immense as they inevitably find themselves managing operations with fewer teachers and support staff. Remember that all you can do is your best.

Heartbreaking. Having just spent the day with 15 wonderful primary heads in the southwest, to come back to this news is so upsetting. Sadly, this is the ultimate price paid for an accountability system that has lost any sense of balance and proportion. Reform is urgently needed.
