Who else should attend school during lockdown?
In addition to vulnerable children and young people, schools will remain open during the third lockdown for the children of critical workers.
The Government guidance states children whose parents’ work is critical to the Covid-19 effort and the EU transition response can still attend school.
Those who can attend school during the lockdown include the children of health and social care workers, such as doctors, nurses and frontline health and social care staff.
People who work in education, childcare, key public services, local and national government, food and necessary goods, public safety and national security, transport and border, utilities, communication and financial services can also send their children to school during lockdown.
