All schools in England back 8th March 😀

Looking promising 😀

Don't count your chickens, things change quickly.

Oh crap

Best get the tissues out then!

This government don't learn from past mistakes, do they?

Foolish. Utter madness.

Stupidity

"All schools to reopen" is an interesting way of wording it. It's not quite the same as "all schoolchildren to be back at once".

I think they should have done/do a staggered start. Get the most important years in and let the others stay at home for a few more weeks. Why does it have to be all or nothing?

I am really not convinced its a great idea. I would much rather it happened gradually.

I am not a teacher. I don't like homeschooling. But we surely should learn from the past

Good

Absolutely agree Cuddlings.

It says all schools opening, may not mean all year groups are back. It's fairly vague.

The press have implied all schools in Scotland are back but it's not actually the case. It's a phased return. I think this will be too.

Weve got a staggered start in Scotland, wee ones back tomorrow and older exam years too

They are already open though aren't they for kw/v kids.

I want to believe that this means there may be a phased start but I'm sick of second guessing this EA government.

We never actually closed, so “reopen” means nowt.
We may be letting more children come back on the 8th (whether or not this is inviting disaster!).

Boris is an idiot so I suspect all children will be back at once. He never learns.

I believe it is all children, all years, all on 8th March

1. Schools were never closed.
2. Reopen to who, exactly?

This wording has been chosen very carefully.
Don't count any chickens just yet...

All schools are open now. For keyworker and vulnerable kids.

I'm very surprised if this is true. It does read as if it'll be all pupils.

It says as much in the Mail online

The article actually says all pupils in all schools, you just can’t see from that photo.

Some (few days) flexibility for testing.

Exam years aren't back in Scotland, pupils in exam years who are doing specific practical subjects have some allocated time in school. My dd has 2 hours a fortnight.
