ICBA reading the whole of this thread, but has the school re-opened?

I asked the same question yesterday. No answer yet.

Nothing marked on the school calendar or elsewhere on the school website, but there was something published on there yesterday (Wednesday 16th). So someone's at work, but they might not be at school!

In Oxford, there is no automated tap in/out, but you can pay for your ticket with a contactless payment. Except when it doesn't work, which seems to be about 50% of the time for my daughter!

I think she changed her mind and it didn't close after all. It's a few weeks back now but I think I recall something in the local rag about it.

Relates to 35 years of living next door but one to a school.

Does that mean the council are issuing the staff permits or something?  Or at least promised to for long enough for the school to stay open and the sky not to fall in?
