Mr Johnson is set to announce a route out of lockdown for the nation at 3.30pm today in the House of Commons, before briefing the nation at 7pm.

At this stage it is unclear whether a phased year-by-year return to schools will be administered nationally.

Children in Dacorum - except for vulnerable children and the children of critical workers - have been learning remotely since the country went into lockdown on January 4.

According to widespread national media reports, a coalition of education unions and professional bodies has warned a full return of all pupils at the same time would be a "reckless" course of action.

Universities have also been offering remote teaching.
