The Education Secretary has warned that parents who do not send their children back to school risk putting a “huge dent in their future life chances”, ahead of pupils returning to classrooms this week.
Gavin Williamson has also said he is not considering resigning despite criticism over the exams fiasco.
Mr Williamson wrote: ‘If a child is not in school, they stand to lose far more than just a few months of learning. It could well put a huge dent in their future life chances.
‘Education is a birthright, so let’s make sure we get all children back – back to learning, back to playing and back to being kids again.’
