Schools look forward to welcoming back children '); Schools will re-open on Monday, March 8 as the Government gradually eases the coronavirus restrictions. Only the children of key workers and those considered to be vulnerable have been in school since the third national began in January and staff have had to have coronavirus tests twice a week. Other pupils and their teachers have reverted to remote learning at home. Gillotts School in Henley has been looking after 30 to 35 pupils each day. Headteacher Catharine Darnton said the school had learned important lessons from the first lockdown last year. She said: “Of course, we want all our students back with us as soon as that is deemed to be the right course of action in terms of case rates and pressures on the NHS.”
