My youngest is in FR so I'm not concerned about him, my eldest is in Y4, as soon as he can he'll go back to his tutor over summer, so will hopefully catch - but not everyone can afford a tutor and they will have missed over half the school year and will now needlessly miss a at least a months schooling.

Maybe the schools will run some Summer classes in August? I suspect most families won't be going very far this Summer!
According to the Government today, having all primary schools was an aspiration, not a firm target.
I think the problem here was that the Government went in all guns blazing to the schools saying just do it. They pushed back citing capacity issues if safe-distancing. The Government did not believe them at first but has now come round.
