Primary school children in Bucks will “return as normal” on January 4, the council has said – despite calls to keep them closed after a ‘major incident’ was declared in the county.
It was announced earlier this week that primary schools in parts of England heavily affected by Covid-19 – including many parts of London and the south-east – will remain closed for two weeks to everyone but vulnerable children and those whose parents are key workers.
Hundreds of Bucks residents signed a petition demanding schools remain closed in Tier 4 areas to curb the spread of coronavirus.
