Parents and teachers: how do you feel about the plan for primary schools in England?

After hoping that all primary school children in England would return to school before the summer, the government has made a U-turn.

On Tuesday, the education secretary, Gavin Williamson admitted that not all children would be able to return before the summer, with some having to wait until September. This comes after it was reported that in the week following 1 June, only one in four children returned to school.

We would like to hear from teachers and parents of children who are returning or preparing to return to school.
