<p>From the week commencing 1 June, at the earliest, we will be asking primary schools
to welcome back children in nursery, reception, year 1 and year 6, alongside priority
groups (vulnerable children and children of critical workers). We will only do this
provided that the five key tests set by government justify the changes at the time.</p><p>By
returning pupils gradually, settings can initially reduce the number of children and
young people in classrooms compared to usual and put protective measures in place
to reduce risks.</p><p>Eligible children – including priority groups - are strongly
encouraged to attend their education setting, unless they are self-isolating or they
are clinically vulnerable. Parents will not be fined for non-attendance at this time
and schools will not be held to account for attendance levels.</p><p>Further guidance
for parents and carers can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/closure-of-educational-settings-information-for-parents-and-carers"
