Your Child and the Pandemic: Why Now Matters More Than Ever

The COVID-19 pandemic has left lasting impacts on our youngest learners. Reading and math skills have slipped, and the gap between disadvantaged students and their peers has widened significantly. As a primary school teacher, I've seen these challenges firsthand. But parents and carers have a vital role to play. Real learning doesn't just happen in the classroom – it happens in everyday moments. By making small changes, like incorporating counting into kitchen tasks or pointing out numbers on the school run, we can make a real difference. You're not alone in this. Let's work together to help our children bounce back stronger than ever.
