Lengthening the school day didn’t fill teachers with unalloyed glee especially as they have worked harder than ever during the pandemic - as no, contrary to some perceptions, schools were NOT closed, there was face to face teaching for key workers’ children who had places, on line lessons to deliver or record and plan,for those at home, teacher assessments instead of public exams - oh and many of them have their own children and had to somehow juggle home schooling with attendance at school .
Personally I don’t think kids need to “catch” up with their maths or phonics or fronted adverbials, but with outdoor activities, team sports, leisure activities with their peers - being kids.
But that’s just my opinion.
