Schools in September.

We've had an email from the secondary school with details on how things are looking for September. I guess it's up to the individual schools to come up with a plan. Some measures my children's school are putting in place include:

All year groups having their own area. So in effect a year group bubble (approx 240 children!).

Years 7,8 and 9 to stay in their tutor rooms all day including lunch and breaks. No pe for these yr groups. The upper years will have some movement because of gcses and 10 & 11 will do pe but outside only. They will eat lunch in the room they happen to be in.

Cafes closed.

No ppe needed for the student's or teachers.

One way around school.

Staggered start/finish.

I can't think of anything else but holy shitballs staying in the same room all day? They are going to go mad.

Is that similar to other schools? How do teachers feel about how it's going to be?

They're going to have to go to the loo surely. How's that going to be managed?

Different loos for year groups I think.

My school has allocated the closest toilet to each bubble as that loo. Staff will escort children to toilet to maintain the separation. All other measures previously mentioned will be in place too along with individual stationary packs and water bottles and school lunches to be more sandwich based and individually bagged up per class

Oh OK.

When I worked I was in the same room from 8:30 to 5 apart from going to the loo. They might not like it but they'll be OK.

It might be a blessed relief for some kids who get bullied at break time

My local high school will open 8am to 1pm so there is no lunch break.

Our youngest went back when they got the go ahead.

The School and teachers have handled the situation brilliantly.

They have thier own individual bubbles and have toilets allocated to them as well as stagered interval times so they can get out side.

His class originally started with six now has grown to 10 with other parents bringing thier kids back to school.

Secondary Schools will adopt a similar principle just on a larger scale.

10 per class, easy to maintain social distancing. I'm not sure how many in each class there will be but pre covid it was 30. I'll have to look into that.

How is that going to help the children's health,some year groups not doing p.e so no exercise or not going outside for breaks no vitamin D

I hope they rethink that as alot of children need exercise and social time outside the classroom,bit unfair to see other children doing these,and they are basically locked in all day

Our primary school doesn't know yet how they are going to structure the school day

It'll probably involve staggered start and end times and possibly not a full week for the return

We only had 16 in the class pre lockdown so I don't see the class being split in September

Our primary school is having year group bubbles (so up to 30 children) staying in the same classroom, eating lunch in classroom. Complete change of uniform everyday, on pe days to come into school in pe kit, all pe taking place outside whatever the weather. Apart from pack lunch and water bottle nothing to be brought in from home. I think it’s good

Staggered start and finish, they have a one way system in place for dropping off/pick upwhich is working well.

Totally agree, I don't think it'll work well at all for those year groups

We are still awaiting ours, but it has been hinted at staggered start / finish, smaller classes meaning a split between being in school and home schooling. So not returning full time at all

Mine is going back on the weds not the Tues lunch in the classroom and half an hour outside. Starting at 9am finishing at 330 to enable staggered breaktimes. I believe she will be in her own class group only. Pe lessons are to be outside but they dont need a pe kit just their pumps. Her best friend is in the next door Class and its been particularly tough for them to not see each other. I'm hoping things calm down into a routine fairly quickly for them

Seems a bit too excessive op. Outdoors would be pretty safe.

A recent German study found tiny levels of infection spread amongst children and adults via schools, that was almost insignificant. They studied teachers and pupils in Saxony, I think and there was next to no evidence of a problem in the time schools have been open there.

Kids have had too much time cooped up, they should be looking to get them outside, as much as possible, as well as intervals away from their large groups. It would help wellbeing.

I'd be giving feedback and suggestions to the school.

No details for mine as yet, other than they will be in class bubbles so won’t have to worry about social distancing for their class as such.

To be honest I’m really worried how my youngest is going to handle it. He has ASD and can’t sit still for long and he has (up until now) been allowed his own area to go and have quiet time and move around in. There is no way on earth he will cope with being unable to move around the class or being stuck in one classroom.

I have given my opinion to my daughter's form tutor but I very much doubt they will change things! It's a bit of a worry when there's around 2000 students

The issue will come as teachers in lots of schools are not being given their legal 20 min break per six hours as they need to stay with their bubbles. It won’t work ...... lots of schools are being left to manage the situation with not enough staff or resources.

I know of 5 schools in Kent that have been shut due to cases - spread through keyworker bubble and teacher. Also I know of two teachers that have died contracted at time of lockdown and as they were teaching at the time and not doing much else more than likely contracted at school. I choose to believe my personal experience rather than ‘research’

I get the impression you are a teacher. Are you happy going back in September? Obviously different schools are putting different things in place. Two of my friends have decided not to go back, which is very sad.

Schools here plan to go back in August as normal, no restrictions and normal classes/activities at least that's the plan just now.

My eldest son has just left high school, my younger 2 still in primary we have been told who their class teachers are & which entrances to take them in. They have said they will be in groups & lunch will be taken in their class room with minimal movement throughout the school & they are not to wear masks. I assume they will be sending out more information before they start back in September

I'm expecting more info to but, of course, things change pretty often with this situation.

My 2 can't wait to get back.

We’re doing staggered start/finish times. Year group bubbles - 150 kids. There won’t be any distancing between them. Staff are allowed to wear PPE. There will be pe for all years and 2 outside breaks per day - different outdoor areas got each year group.
