Overall, the latest Department for Education figures show a slight decline in the number of pupils off school due to bubble closures, but school leaders in high outbreak areas say the national figures 'mask' what's happening across some regions of the country. 'What the government needs to do now is start talking to schools about September. School leaders are already thinking about plans for the start of the next term.
While much of the disruption in the first half of the summer term was limited to hotspot areas like Bolton and Bury, as infection rates rise across Greater Manchester, more schools across the region are being forced to send pupils home.'The school is a microcosm of the community it serves. As cases within Wigan and Leigh have been increasing so too have the number of positive cases in St Mary’s.
