Another council has gone against government guidance and said it will not be reopening its schools alongside the rest of England.
‘The safety of your child, and of our staff, is our top priority. Some parents have asked me when schools may fully reopen. This will vary from school to school. Each headteacher has to rigorously assess the risks of fully reopening for their particular school.
‘We will not be pressuring anyone to send their child to school since you know your children and personal situation best. Once you have all the information, you will be able to make an informed decision. Mr Reddy thanked teachers for their work during the pandemic and asked people to be mindful of the emotional and mental well being of pupils as schools reopen.
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said: ‘I want to reassure parents and families that we are giving schools, nurseries and other providers all the guidance and support they will need to welcome more children back in a phased way and no earlier than 1 June.
