i think sir kevan is right that there will be a lot of work to do to catch up and i really like what. the period of catch up needs to be extended, we need to look really carefully at what children are doing, how they are performing when they get back, and the process of making sure that children are really solid on all the key skills they need, particularly from my perspective in primary school. that should be done carefully over time rather than anything that looks like cramming. that could potentially put a lot of children of learning when we want to get them back engaged. let’s children of learning when we want to get them back engaged.— get them back engaged. let's talk about those _ get them back engaged. let's talk about those key _ get them back engaged. let's talk about those key skills. _ get them back engaged. let's talk about those key skills. there - get them back engaged. let's talk about those key skills. there are i about those key skills. there are things... you need building blocks particularly in primary school, and if you don't have them, it can really be very diff
