This has been my worry all along with the breakfast club nonsense. You can talk about funding all you like, the long and the short of it is that school leaders end up with another job on the list, another extension to their working day, and the job becomes ever harder...

Oh yes... of course, another group of people who are just yearning for extra responsibilities on their plate.
No indication here of when those key staff get that time back. Or maybe they're being paid a massive rate, from the £1 per pupil?
Just another job on the to-do list of overworked staff.

GIS doesn’t have to mean complex software.
Geography teachers already use more GIS than they realise.
