All London primary schools to remain closed for start of term in government U-turn
All London primary schools will now be closed at the start of term for most pupils.
It comes two days after the government said only those in 22 of London's 32 boroughs would be affected by closures amid surging COVID-19 rates in the capital.
Earlier, the leaders of eight London boroughs called on the government to make a U-turn as they were "struggling to understand the rationale" behind the move
It will mean around a million pupils aged between four and 11 will face remote learning from Monday, after youngsters in 27 other local authorities outside the capital were told on Wednesday they would be taught online for an indefinite period.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the decision about when they could return to school would be reviewed by 18 January.
