Please see below a message from the DfE:

It is likely that the roads and public transport system will now be busier than when pupils returned in March, given that other businesses have reopened.

It is recommended that you consider the following guidance on how pupils can travel to and from school safely:

  • If you live a short distance from school, walk or cycle to and from school wherever it is possible and safe to do so
  • Avoid sharing a car with anyone outside of your household or support bubble
  • If you are using public transport to get to school, plan ahead and allow more time for your journey
  • When you are travelling by public or dedicated school transport don't forget to:
  • Wear a face covering (unless you are exempt - including if you are aged 11 and under).  It is important you wear them for the entirety of your journey, including inside a bus or train station
  • Social distance where possible
  • Wash or sanitise your hands regularly
  • Be considerate to fellow passengers or staff
