The Centre for Policy Studies recently reported that 'New polling by Public First for the Centre for Policy Studies think tank shows that over two thirds (67%) of parents think children in England have been negatively affected by lockdown. A follow-up poll found that 57% of parents would support extending the school day by 30 minutes to give more time to catch up on academic subjects.

The areas which are considered to have suffered the most are maths (62%), science subjects (41%) social skills (41%) and writing (38%).

The focus groups for the project – carried out in Greater Manchester and Outer London - revealed that parents were much keener on any extra time in schools focusing on 'the basics' rather than activities such as play, sport or drama.'

You can help your child by employing a qualified teacher as a tutor for your child to work with them 1 on 1. Contact me for further details.

Once I got the go-ahead (and a budget) from the Headteacher, I couldn’t wait to get started. School holidays were approaching and I had one week to kit out the classroom. Gathering ideas I started by looking for other blogs from teachers who had already changed their classroom this way. Most of the blogs that I found were from teachers in New Zealand or America.

Having become interested in changing my classroom to a 'flexible learning' space, I wanted to see what the children thought of the idea. "If you could make the classroom into your 'perfect' learning space, what would it look like?" In pairs, the children designed their classrooms on A3 paper. There were some interesting ways of spelling 'board' (bored) to mark where the whiteboard should go (mental note made to practice homophones again) and we talked about what choices of furniture there might be.
