The headteacher of a Lichfield primary school has said no children will return to class on 1st June.

The Prime Minister has outlined plans for pupils from Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 to go back to schools across the country next month.

But Gemma Grainger, headteacher of Chadsmead Primary Academy, said they would definitely not reopen on 1st June – and she added that the Government still needed to meet all tests before children could return.

In a letter to parents, she said:

> “The Government still seems intent on working towards a return for some pupils in June, and we are preparing accordingly.  
>  
> “In order for the school and staff to be ready for the opening, we will be taking 1st June as a training day – no children will be in school.  
>  
> “This will ensure all staff members can prepare resources, classrooms and train on the new procedures in school.  
>  
> “It will also allow for a thorough clean before the further opening to some year groups.”  
>  
> Gemma Grainger, Chadsmead Primary Academy

The letter comes after a Burntwood headteacher [warned that the demands on staff meant that the reopening would see changes to home learning provision](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/burntwood-headteacher-says-return-to-class-for-some-children-will-see-changes-to-home-learning-provision-for-pupils-in-other-year-groups/) for those children are not eligible to go back to class.
