A headteacher was left close to tears on BBC radio today after slamming plans for schools to roll out Covid-19 testing of children and staff in the New Year.
Nicola Mason, head of school at Chase Terrace Academy in Burntwood, Staffordshire, said in despair that her staff were 'literally broken' by the plans which intend to see secondary school pupils' return to class in England staggered in the first week of January.
Her voice breaking, she said teachers were now facing spending their whole Christmas holidays planning for remote learning with the majority of pupils expected to start the term online.
