I wish to ask a practical question about the dropping-off and collection of children from the same family where there is either blended learning or school attendance for only a certain number of days. I ask that schools make every effort to organise drop-off and collection by siblings or grouped surnames so that a single parent, possibly a working parent, who may already have difficulty getting back to work, does not have to do two or three different drop-offs on certain days or whatever so that families can organise themselves as best they can.
