HEADTEACHERS in Malvern have criticised the government s last minute decision to close schools and cancel exams this summer. Mike Fieldhouse, headteacher at The Chase, blasted the “bombshell comment” that summer exams would be cancelled, “without any clarity and guidance about what would replace those examinations”. While Lindsey Cooke, the headteacher of Hanley Castle High School, said she was disappointed that the exams had been cancelled. When he announced the national lockdown on Monday night, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said all schools and colleges now had to move to online learning, with them remaining closed for all pupils apart from the children of key workers or those who are vulnerable until the February half-term.
