File photo Head teachers in Slough will be supported by the council in making changes “to protect the operational viability of their school” after it was announced primary schools in the borough would reopen as normal tomorrow (Monday). Slough Borough Council (SBC) said with Covid case rates high in the borough and surrounding Tier 4 areas, “schools will be making difficult decisions on how they can best operate in very testing circumstances”. It comes after education secretary Gavin Williamson confirmed on Friday that all of London’s primary schools would remain shut to most students. Primary schools in the capital and some surrounding areas are not due to reopen until January 18, but elsewhere, including Slough, students are expected to return to classrooms on Monday.
