It is the governments plan that all pupils, in all year groups, will return to school full-time from the beginning of the autumn term. Following guidance, the government is asking schools to prepare for all pupils to return full time from the start of the autumn term, including those in school-based nurseries. Schools must comply with health and safety law, which requires them to assess risks and put in place proportionate control measures.

The Duchess of Cambridge to lead an online assembly on mental wellbeing among children
Tomorrow, the Duchess of Cambridge will lead an online assembly for the Oak National Academy during which she will speak about the importance of mental wellbeing among children. The theme of the Duchess’ assembly is ‘spread a little kindness’ and is based on a lesson plan which is available on the Mentally Healthy Schools platform. This platform was developed in collaboration with children’s mental health charity Place2Be and encourages children to explore ways in which they can show kindness and recognise the benefits of kindness to others. The assembly will be live on the Oak National Academy website at 11am on Thursday 18 June and can be accessed here: https://classroom.thenational.academy/assemblies/ A recording of the assembly will be available to view on the Oak National Academy website following the event.

While we are not able to welcome all primary children back for a full month before the summer, we are working with the sector on the next steps to allow schools that have the capacity to bring back more children in smaller class sizes to do so before the summer holidays. We will provide further details in the coming days. The statement in full can be found here: ![]()
