SCHOOLS were inundated with requests for places yesterday after a long Government list of key workers entitled to send their children in for classes sparked confusion.
Parents in a number of occupations may benefit from a network of"skeleton schools" keeping their gates open during the coronavirus outbreak, the Department for Education said. Teachers' leaders warned the few schools still open next week will struggle to cope with reports that they have been"inundated" with requests. Most will stay closed from Monday under emergency measures to curb the spread of the virus. Colleges and nurseries will also be shut.
