Thank you, Lynne, and thank you for taking the opportunity to highlight the good practice at Garnteg. I have to say I have been overwhelmed by the outstanding practice that has been delivered by schools throughout this period, including the incredible flexibility that has been shown by all members of the education workforce and support staff in schools during this time. Lynne, I think you are correct—feedback from children indicates that they really, really value live interaction with staff and definitely would like more of that, going forward.

As our attention now switches to the new academic year in September, I, my officials, local education authorities and schools are working hard to maximise face-to-face contact and minimise disruption to the normal course of a child's education. We have to, quite rightly, as you say, plan appropriately for a range of scenarios that we could face in the autumn term. But setting a national expectation that children and their parents can have with regard to live interaction, should we be in the situation, as a result of the virus, that children have to spend some time at home, is a very important part of that work, because we know it is greatly valued by children and young people.
