Lack of a post-covid financial recovery package for schools has impacted 'standards'. The Guardian has published an editorial on the lack of sufficient support for children, post-covid.
'...it is concerning that the latest research on the pandemic’s effects shows that the number of very low attainers in reading, in the third year of schooling, has more than tripled. In a sample of 6,000 pupils from 81 schools, the proportion who fell below expected levels rose from 2.6% to 9.1% between 2017 and this year.'
