Information on school and childcare provision across the Bradford District 

The latest information on which schools will be open for the children of key workers and vulnerable children from Monday 23 March is available here.

Please be aware that this situation may change depending on the availability of school staff.

If your usual school is not open to children, and there is no alternative suggested on the list, please call the school office for advice on which alternative school they can attend.

For parents of children under 5 looking for childcare as a result of the closure of schools and childcare settings, please use the Bradford Childcare Finder to assist you. If you need further help to find childcare please e-mail sufficiency@bradford.gov.uk and a member of the team will contact you.

The Government has published information on who is a key worker.

The Government has also published information about the closure of schools for parents and carers of children at registered childcare providers (including nurseries and childminders), primary and secondary schools and further education colleges.

Further information, advice and guidance on schools is also available on our website.

PLEASE STAY AT HOME IF YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO OUT
