'Parents are frightened for themselves and for their children': an inspirational school in impossible times

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : I watched them explain new concepts while also trying remember, as all primary school teachers must, who had confidently counted past eight without seeming to know what eight meant, and therefore needed one-to-one help, and who had cracked something far more complex and needed something else to do, right now, before they started messing around.
41% : Birchenough told me social services will only likely to take immediate action if there is a risk of "significant harm" to the child if they return home after school that day - which leaves a "huge grey area" for the school to navigate, between good-enough parenting and harm.
