Government guidance has confirmed those workers classed as working with key sectors.

Schools are being asked to provide care for a limited number of children, for example children who are vulnerable and children who's parents are classed as key workers and cannot be cared for safely at home.

Any child who can be safely cared for at home, should be - even if a parent is a key worker.

If you are a parent, you are urged to keep your child(ren) at home wherever possible, so our schools can remain open for those children who absolutely need to attend.

Your child's school will provide you with more information.
