The Department for Education (DfE) has updated its official guidance for the re-opening of primary schools to more pupils.
The update allows schools to bring more pupils back to school should they have the space and capacity to do so.
It states: “Where schools have capacity, they may choose to welcome back additional pupils.”
It adds: “We know that in some schools, there will be capacity to welcome more children back, in group sizes of no more than 15, before the summer holidays. This may be because take-up among eligible children is lower than expected, or because there is additional space still available within the school and available staff to teach and supervise.
