So far 18 local authorities including Liverpool City Council, Solihull, Calderdale in Yorkshire, Hartlepool in the North East and Bury in Greater Manchester have announced alternative plans for reopening after 1 June.
Solihull Council branded government plans to see pupils in nursery, reception, Year 1 and Year 6 return to classrooms on 1 June “ambitious”.
It said many schools would not be able to reopen until at least 8 June in a statement which adds: “Schools will only invite pupils back once the protective measures outlined by the government have been put in place. This means that places in schools will vary across the borough at different times. Schools will be contacting parents in the year groups mentioned in the government guidance once they have completed their risk assessments, to explain when children will be invited back into school.”
