Back to school

Get ready for the return to school

In the next few weeks, all children and young people in Tower Hamlets will be required to go back to school. Our schools are safe places and the best place to learn and staff have been working hard throughout lockdown, and all summer, to prepare them for the new year.

Visit www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/backtoschool for the latest advice, information and support, plus answers to some common questions. Be sure to check regularly as it is being updated constantly.

We look forward to welcoming you back in September.
