Newspaper report by Liam Rice about the return to school and that parents across Oxfordshire were waiting to see whether schools will ask them to send their children back in next week – and whether other parents would comply.
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. Schools will all be expected to ensure children are socially distancing, to stagger lunch and break times and put extra hygiene measures in place, but parents and teachers were still divided.
