According to the Government today, having all primary schools was an aspiration, not a firm target.
I think the problem here was that the Government went in all guns blazing to the schools saying just do it. They pushed back citing capacity issues if safe-distancing. The Government did not believe them at first but has now come round.

Ha, well all I can say is Labour run Calderdale Council are a joke.
Two weeks ago when the Govt said to open schools - the LA told schools not to open.
Now when the Govt have said don't open schools (or don't if you don't want to) they are now saying open the schools.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about it, and at least one of kids will be going to school Monday.
But it shows that the councils decision not to allow schools to open on the 1st was pure politics at play.
They said then that only 2 of of the 5 tests had been met, now they're saying ALL five have been met. When nothing has changed since the end of May, in fact in some places R has gone up.
Anyway time to get the school uniform out the box.
