Schools are ramping up plans for reopening, despite ongoing fears they could help the spread of Covid-19. Class sizes will be halved and even kids’ artwork banned from the walls.
Parents have been given a glimpse of how schools will operate when they reopen to more pupils as lockdown restrictions are eased.
Class sizes will be halved, start times will be staggered and contact will be severely reduced for children in reception, Year 1 and Year 6 who return to primary school from June 1.
Plans for the reopening were ramped up as the Government announced tests would be available to everyone over five who shows symptoms.
