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.
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.

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.
