What has it been like to lead a primary school through a pandemic, and what supports are really needed to help keep schools open? The Irish Examiner asked eight principals of different primary schools around the country about their experience of the term so far. Each is a member of the National Principals Forum, a group of more than 1,200 practicing primary school principals set up in 2018. That’s no shape for anyone to be in, never mind before they return to run a school during a pandemic. In particular, in schools where we have children with additional needs in classes, they're moving around a lot more.
