Covid-19 Schools Update (Verbal Update)
To receive a verbal update on the Covid-19 situation in schools.
Minutes:
There had been a significant fall in reported case figures which reflected the current position of testing no longer being a requirement. Nationally, all statutory guidance for schools had been removed. From June, the additional Covid support from the Council would also be removed. Schools maintained their mechanism for reporting any critical incidents to the Council and enhanced guidance had been issued. The Education Recovery Group continued to meet every two weeks and were looking ahead to managing attendance, wellbeing, the curriculum, SEND and behaviour. The vaccination programme in children was progressing well.
RESOLVED:
That the update be noted.
