YOUNG school pupils will be allowed to mix in small 'bubble' groups when they return to school next month, the Children and Families Minister said yesterday.
Vicky Ford insisted the focus would be to reduce contact between pupils and staff as much as possible to help reduce the coronavirus transmission risk. But she admitted it would be harder for early years children to maintain social distancing rules like older students and adults. Under Boris Johnson’s roadmap out of lockdown nurseries and Primary schools will reopen at the earliest on June 1. The first schoolchildren to return will be those in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6.
