Report by David Lynch about Back to School dates. Parents were urged to send their children back to primary schools in Oxfordshire next week, as the county council dishes out masses of protective equipment. Across the county, 94 per cent of schools have remained open to vulnerable children and the children of key workers during the lockdown. But as of Monday, June 1, the government has said primary school-aged children in Years 1 and 6, as well as nursery and reception classes, should return to school. To prepare for this, Oxfordshire County Council has given out masses of masks, visors, gloves and other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) which teachers can use in case a child in their class is ill. Government advice says children returning to school should not be made to wear PPE automatically.
