At least three schools in the district have confirmed they will remain closed. It comes amid calls from teaching unions for all schools to remain closed for two weeks following the Christmas break. Bradford Council has said it is following Government guidelines, with primary schools reopening today; pupils in Year 11 and Year 13 returning on January 11 and other year groups on January 18. Tomorrow the Government is asking our members and students to be in school. We want learning to be online and this is why. #MakeSchoolsSafe to #ProtectCommunities 250,000 have signed our petition, 400,000 watched our Zoom call and many thousands more have joined us today. pic.twitter.com/qcxLmAyr1l National Education Union (@NEUnion) January 3, 2021
