Education Secretary Gavin Williamson confirmed last week he was looking at the idea of summer schools for kids in need. The location of where summer schemes could take place, or what form they'd take, has not yet been confirmed as plans are still being drawn up. But he said: "We are looking at different initiatives that we could maybe look at rolling out during the summer period." The Department for Education said there weren't plans to keep schools open in the summer but confirmed they were working on initiatives for catch up for some kids. Mr Williamson has appealed to teaching unions to work with the Government to find "practical solutions" to enable schools in England to begin re-opening.
