What are your HT's thoughts re when we might reopen?

[DrMadelineMaxwell]

Ours was very optimistic at the outset that it would be over as soon as possible and may only a few weeks we were closed for.

Then they were hoping for after half term, so early June.

Now, they're saying that they are hearing that it might be later, not helped by the fact that we are in Wales and are being told that we are reaching our peak later than England. So we are being told to start to prepare in case it's longer term and we don't go back til Sept. It's obv not a definite, but it's interesting to hear him actually voice that.

The Guardian slipped this into an article today:
"Getting schools up and running again – and persuading parents their children will be safe – is regarded by ministers as a necessary precondition for allowing many people to return to work. Schools are not expected to reopen fully until June, after the spring half-term."
Obviously I don't know where they are getting this from, but it almost seems to be said in a "we all know this" kind of way.

My HT seems to be thinking June in some form, for some students. She's put out a few different options for how things might be organised e.g. morning and afternoon shifts etc. but I don't know if that's based on government/DfE advice. I hope so, we need to get back to school as soon as it's safe but I'd like the staggering of sessions etc. to be based on science rather than fluff.
