Dear Parents and Carers
As we close the spring term today, it’s worth remembering that this term started with the Secretary of State for Education calling to arms retired teachers in an attempt to keep schools open as the Omicron variant swept through the country. As far as I remember the call didn’t inspire very many to respond – can’t imagine why retired people in their 60s and 70s were reluctant to help prop up our Covid riddled education system. Given that there are several hundred fully qualified teachers working for the DfE and Ofsted, a cheaper and more reliable solution could have been contemplated at the time? As it was Myton, like others has been hit with very high absence rates all term and I would like to thank all my colleagues here for all the cover and support they offered to make sure we never had to contemplate any partial closures, cancelled classes in Years 7-11 or collapsing year groups into halls. Your children have been very patient with this disruption also and I look forward to the next, largely restriction free, term. (more…)
