Local Birmingham Lockdown - New restrictions

You will be aware that lockdown restrictions have been announced for Birmingham. We have received confirmation this afternoon from the DfE that we will be moving to Tier 1. 

Tier 1 information is below.

Tier 1

The default position for areas in national government intervention is that education and childcare settings will remain open. An area moving into national intervention with restrictions short of education and childcare closure is described as ‘tier 1’. There are no changes to childcare, and the only difference in education settings is that where pupils in year 7 and above are educated, face coverings should be worn by adults and pupils when moving around the premises, outside of classrooms, such as in corridors and communal areas where social distancing cannot easily be maintained.

All nurseries, childminders, schools, colleges and other educational establishments should remain open and continue to allow all their children and young people to attend, on site, with no other restrictions in place.

We will continue to keep you updated as information is published by the government.
