“Parents send their children to us for six hours a day, most days of most weeks. and we have a duty of care over each and every one of them. This is going to be very challenging indeed. People will make judgements, terrible things will be said and written, we will be accused of every oversight, every folly in the book. But we must be seen to stay calm and professional. We must be honest, to acknowledge if we could have done more, and make changes accordingly. We must rise above it. We must carry on teaching. We have no option. The parents need to feel like they can absolutely trust us. The students need to feel safe.”
