This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Since you started your petition the Government has announced that primary schools, secondary schools and colleges across England must move to remote provision from 5 January 2021, except for vulnerable children and the children of key workers.

You can read the Prime Minister's announcement of new Covid-19 restrictions, including school closures, here: www.gov.uk/government/speeches/prime-ministers-address-to-the-nation-4-january-2021

The Government had already published guidance for full opening of schools, which included measures schools should take to ensure public health: www.gov.uk/government/publications/actions-for-schools-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak/guidance-for-full-opening-schools
