R Rate 1.01 in NW Schools to pause wider reopening

Hi all,
Sorry for the late evening update but I've just had an email from the LA. You may have read / heard that the R rate has risen to 1.01 in the North West.
The Secretary of State has previously made it clear as one of his 5 tests that the R value should be below 1 before it would be safe for schools to open for more children. The LA has decided to pause all plans for year groups returning to school until the R rate fall below 1 and it is safe to do so.
We will still be open for key worker and vulnerable children in the 'bubbles'.
I've attached a letter if you would like to read further details.
