Not confirmed by the government yet but the government is considering delaying the start of the next school term in the New Year.

Quote:

The Department for Education is expected to make an announcement about the potential later start tomorrow, according to sources close to the DfE.

It is understood that the later start would be for secondary schools and that the delay could be as long as a week.

Re: Coronavirus

It will be interesting to see if the infection rate / death rate increases after the Christmas relaxation rules go back to the tier system. Could be a week or two after, that any changes will be seen. I fear people forget that a virus is not aware of any festivities - it will carry on regardless of what events are happening.

Looks like we escaped the punishment. :D

We (East and West Sussex) were on the speculative list together with Brighton and Hove which is the real hot spot.

My brother who lives in Gosport with the parents suggested Portsmouth, Gosport and Havant in Hampshire were highly likely to go into Tier 3 as the local MP was very pessimistic yesterday..

Yep back to take out tea or coffee..in the rain and no shelter anywhere on the seafront. That's 12 eateries in this seaside town including 4 pubs losing money at this time of the year plus the little independent shops that really need to make up for lost custom first time around.
