My daughters school is closed age 5 and sons school age 7 will be opening tomorrow. We are on the extremely vulnerable list and have been told today if I do not send him in tomorrow it will be unauthorised and I will be reported, my son will also receive no home education and will not be supported to remain at home. I’m disabled single mum and scared

Hi there seems the school are being very unreasonable
Have you spoke to the head or maybe escalate to the governors or your local mp
Also see if your gp can be of assistance -
HI and welcome,If you live in England you may find the rules could change from midnight tonight as Boris is addressing the nation tonight at 8pm and all schools could shut. Although saying that i'm not sure who they are going to report you to, if you don't send your send to school because you're very likely not the only person doing this.If you received the first shileding letter and you're already in a Tier 4 area (England) then they can't expect you to send your child to school.
