Boarding Schools - when do you think they will reopen?

I'm interested in other people's opinions on when you think they may reopen. I obviously appreciate it depends on government advice. I'm of a mind to say September. But then I'm also wondering if they may reopen in June - but only on a day pupil basis.

I think it opens a whole can of worms for overseas parents whose children may have to quarantine, and in addition I think parents who don't live in Europe will not send their children back at all. I would estimate that is 50% of boarders at my dd's school. Is it worth them opening boarding houses for just 5 weeks? Or can they afford not to?

September for sure...

Yes I would suspect September too unless the second spike has already started then
