Coronavirus: plan dropped for all primary pupils back in school

The plan for all primary school years in England  to go back to school before the end of term is to be dropped by the government.

there had been an aim for all primary pupils to spend four weeks in school before the summer break .

But it is no longer thought to be feasible and instead school will be given 'flexibility' over whether or not to admit more pupils 

Head teachers leaders said it had never been a practical possibility.

it comes after health Secretary Matt Hancock conceded at Monday downing street briefing that secondary schools in England may not fully reopen until September 'at the earliest'.

.. 52% of primary schools opened for extra pupils 

..11%of primary pupils were in school about a quarter of those year groups who could have gone back 

..659,000 Children were in all schools including children of key workers ,almost 7% who could normally attend up from 2.6% before term
