What will happen at the start of the autumn term? Will schools reopen as usual?
A The Government will be monitoring the development of the disease over the summer (and the Southern Hemisphere winter) to assess the level of risk at the time schools are due to reopen. We will contact all schools (and, via local authorities , early years and childcare settings) shortly before the end of the holiday period, and will also put an update on this website. As things stand, we would expect most schools to reopen as usual, but the situation may change.
