A more holistic catch-up approach is also backed by headteachers - a recent National Association of Headteachers poll found that while 70% backed one-to-one tutorials, nearly two-thirds also want wellbeing and mental health high on the government's priority list."Barnsley Council put their hands in their pockets," Sue O'Brien, a strategic lead for the South Yorkshire Futures programme at Sheffield Hallam, said.
"I think it's extremely serious. I think are not getting enough support. The lack of education they have had face to face has really affected them. The Labour MP for Barnsley Central and mayor of the Sheffield City Region, Dan Jarvis, has found himself rummaging through funds allocated to run his mayoral office in order to help local disadvantaged pupils get learning equipment and extra help.
There's no 'levelling up' and the media should not be repeating it this BS meaningless soundbite unless they can add some prove to it.
It's a sign of the general ineffectiveness of councils that a local authority fulfilling its responsibilities is seen to be doing something extraordinary.
Helping pupils that fell behind? Due to this clusterfuck of a government EVERY pupil has fallen behind. 😠😠😠
I'll wait to see what GBNEWS has to say about it first but thanks for the effort
