THE head teacher at a Dorset school said he was “disappointed” schools wouldn’t reopen until March 8, but said he was pleased a date had now been set. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has told MPs it will not be possible to reopen schools “immediately after the February half term”. He said he hoped it would be safe to begin reopening schools in England from March 8. Mr Johnson told the House of Commons: “The first sign of normality beginning to return should be pupils going back to their classrooms. I know how parents and teachers need as much certainty as possible including two weeks’ notice of the return of face-to-face teaching.
