DFE email drop - the highlights as I understand them:
- Masks return in the classroom for Year 7 upwards until Jan 26th when it’ll be reviewed
- Jan exams to go ahead
- Twice weekly LFD testing to continue for students and staff in secondary results reported to NHS and setting
- Ofsted visits to continue after the first week back BUT settings encouraged to defer if significant staff absences due to covid
- self isolation period for students to be as it is for adults (shortened to 7 days of negative LFT day 6 and 7)
