Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed on Sunday night that the government wants pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 to go back to school on Monday. He also said that he expected up to a quarter of students in Year 10 and Year 12 to get 'some contact' with schools from June 15, to help them prepare for exams.
