Petition Action

Delay the start of the schools going back after the Christmas holiday

Petition Details

I would like to see the Christmas holidays extended by 2 weeks because of the rising cases of covid.

Additional Information

As teachers & support staff we are very worried about returning after the Christmas break. The Covid cases seem to be spiralling out of control. We all worked to the very end of term, mixing with 30 ish children & consequently their
families, only then to be told that we are in another lockdown & can't see our own families! To then go back on the 4th January, just a week away, I feel would be throwing us all into the lions den! Our upmost concern is for our children, their families and us.
