Earlier today Education Secretary Gavin Williamson announced plans for the ‘majority’ of primary schools to safely return next week following the Christmas break.
The Government has now published the full list of areas where primary schools will remain closed until at least January 18th due to rising coronavirus infection rates.
The areas where primary schools are remaining closed are:
- 22 boroughs of London,
- 11 boroughs in Essex,
- 9 boroughs in Kent,
- two in East Sussex,
- four in Hertfordshire, and Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire.
The government has confirmed that nurseries and special schools will remain open, even in the worst-hit areas.
