Thank you! Mumsnet is ace.

Thank you so much for finding and posting this. Feel so relieved that I don't have to make the decision to keep DD off of school, it's been made for me. She's desperate to go back.

Wow, thanks.

A lot of the pupils at my school live in one of those places. But the school is well outside it. That will be interesting!

Those are places around 800 or more per 100,000. What about when the rest of the country is that high?

Thanks for this!

Very helpful.

Thank you!

Of course mumsnet (and The Times) would be quicker to update parents with news of school closures than Gavin Williamson 🤣😫🤯

I wonder if it's the towns only or the whole district. I'm presuming district but that would be too sensible.

@Lumene
I don't bother reading the news paper anymore.... MN seems to have more up to date info then anywhere else!!

Which just goes to prove there isn't much a determined women can't find out!!

0r the places in the country that have been this high previously and we all continued to go to school and college!

Is this only primary schools? Secondaries all open from 18th?

Did anyone hear how long the delay was for?

I wonder did they forget to type Harrow since all surrounding boroughs are closed.

How long is the delayed school starts?

I missed part of the press conference and live in one of those areas, did they say how long for?

How marvellous. My area has higher numbers than some of the London areas and is in tier 4 but i'll still be expected in on Monday. How very valued I feel.

This is crazy, if this list is accurate then our area of London are going back next week but every other borough around us is not and we have been bombarded recently with warnings of how high the infection rate in our borough is.

What about nurseries

I wonder did they forget to type Harrow since all surrounding boroughs are closed.

Redbridge is also absent even though its surrounding areas are there
