Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has announced on Sky News this morning that the Department for Education (DfE) intend to give schools at least two weeks notice before they are having to reopen.
This means that if pupils are to return to school after the February half-term, schools and parents will be notified in the next week.
Mr Williamson said: the DfE “want to give all schools a clear two weeks’ notice period” ahead of their full reopening.
“What we will be wanting to do is to give schools as much notice as possible so teachers can get ready, children can prepare, and parents know in order to manage their lives,” he said.
“We would want to give all schools a clear two weeks’ notice period in order to be able to ready themselves.”
