As schools prepare for thousands of children to go back to school, James Cleverly visited Hedingham School to thank staff and those involved in making sure the children can come back safely.

James said:
“I want to say a big thank you to all the teaching staff who have been working through the pandemic providing remote teaching as well as teaching the children of key workers who have been in school. They’re now involved in the testing regime.

“I also thank everyone who has been involved, parents who have been supervising remote learning and, often, working from home and, of course, the students themselves who have had to put up with an unprecendented set of circumstances.

“Best of luck for the big restart on Monday.”
