Boris Johnson has this evening confirmed he will ‘hopefully’ be in a position to reopen primary schools by June 1st.
The PM says school returns will be done in stages, beginning with reception, Year 1 and Year 6 at the earliest on 1st June.
He adds: “Our ambition is that secondary pupils facing exams next year will get at least some time with their teachers before the holidays.
“And we will shortly be setting out detailed guidance on how to make it work in schools and shops and on transport.”
