School Closures Extra 2 weeks

Postby RichardJones » Tue Mar 17, 2020 4:24 pm

The Government should announce Friday that schools will close on Friday 27th March. Easter Holidays will be extended by 2 weeks.

Monday 30th March till Friday 24th April Children will be off for 4 weeks. So a week either side of the scheduled holiday.

Is that a suggestion mate? If so, under the present circumstances I’d have to agree.

Thank you for your reply. Will give parents a week to arrange the necessary extra 2 weeks childcare they will require.

The other scenario is to close schools from friday. give you the 2 weeks before the easter holidays. so from monday 23rd to friday 17th april.



but whatever one the government decide Easter holidays will be 4 weeks this year.

Difficult one to call Richard.
Whatever is decided it’s going to cause different sorts of problems for different groups of people I think.

The way things are going I can't see schools reopening until the new school year in September, if the coronavirus has calmed down by then.

Thanks Topcat. just waiting for Westminster england government to announce it as Wales & Scotland governments have already said. Also childcare providers will stay open. If both parents are working.

Also trying to work out which schools will just stay open to take the vulnerable children regarding safe guarding the kids that are being protected by the police. etc
