Text of Petition:                     

I implore the government to consider re-doing this academic year, should school closures become part of the “fire break” restrictions. It isn’t fair to expect the children to catch up with last years missed education, whilst having a stop/start academic year this year. Our children should not be prevented from achieving their full potential, and nor should we as parents be accepting that they just - get by. Not all children have the same luxuries of parents at home to help/access to resources.
