Bring school holidays forward, return children to school for autumn term in July
Do not make children return to school on the 1/6/20. Bring the school holidays forward to start from 1/6/20. Re start schools for the autumn term on the 13/7/20.
This will allow a further six weeks for the R number to reduce. Parents will not be responsible for teaching their children (so those children who aren’t being taught by parents will not loose out). It will also mean there will be less disruption caused by schools starting, stopping and then starting again.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about school term dates are a matter for the governing bodies of individual schools, not the Government or Parliament.
