Schools in Salford are 'highly unlikely' to reopen to all pupils in the government's priority year groups, the council has declared.
The Prime Minister last week revealed that providing the virus transmission rate is low enough, then primary schools will reopen to pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 from June 1.
There has been widespread opposition to the move, not least from teaching unions who say it would put teachers and pupils at risk.
Salford council has now joined other local authorities, including Manchester council, in saying that the opening date is 'highly unlikely'.
