Following the Prime Minister’s announcement that, from Monday, 17 May, face coverings will no longer need to be worn in classrooms or for students in communal areas in secondary schools and colleges, we understand that this does not affect the requirement for these students to wear a face covering on home to school transport. The DfT has confirmed with the DfE that there is no change to the policy on face coverings for home to school transport – face coverings therefore remain mandatory.
