rjsmall Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I couldn't access the government site but on the BBC news article (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-51643556) it doesn't list Lewisham and Lambeth as closing schools. Hard to imagine they will open schools when the surrounding ones are closed.

intexasatthe moment Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Yep - Lewisham ,Lambeth and guess what ? Greenwich all opening as usual .IMO ,not quite "the overwhelming majority of primary schools will open as planned on Monday" as Gav stated ..Annex A: List of local authorities where this guidance applies:Barking and DagenhamBarnetBexleyBrentBromleyCroydonEalingEnfieldHammersmith and FulhamHaveringHillingdonHounslowKensington and ChelseaMertonNewhamRichmond-Upon-ThamesSouthwarkSuttonTower HamletsWaltham ForestWandsworthWestminsterBrentwoodEpping ForestCastle PointBasildonRochford HarlowChelmsfordBraintreeMaldonSouthend on SeaThurrockDartfordGraveshamSevenoaksMedwayAshfordMaidstoneTonbridge and MallingTunbridge WellsSwaleHastingsRotherMilton KeynesWatfordBroxbourneHertsmereThree Rivers Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/273568-delayed-opening-for-southwark-primary-schools/#findComment-1479080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AylwardS Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 It looks bad, particularly in London but 50 out of 343 authorities delaying opening as planned seems to me ?the overwhelming majority?. The children in the class mean all those households are mingling and if 1 in 3 carriers are asymptomatic that could mean the virus is transmitted to others who might get more serious symptoms. More vulnerable people will have been vaccinated when pupils return and hopefully the NHS capacity will recover slightly. No one wants schools or businesses to close but if they don?t delay the return more people will die and the NHS will be overwhelmed. Or do nothing, the virus takes over and full lockdown is the only option. Children need to run around wrap up and take them to Sydenham Hill Wood https://www.wildlondon.org.uk/nature-reserves/sydenham-hill-wood-and-coxs-walk Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/273568-delayed-opening-for-southwark-primary-schools/#findComment-1479161 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules-and-Boo Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 absolutely ludicrous schools opening.All pupils should be tested before they re allowed to return and teachers/ staff should all be vaccinated.London hospitals are at capacity already.lameduck - sorry to hear about your friend.
