Their are just under sixty Y6 pupils in the school and all the families were contacted last week to advise of their intentions re attendance.
To date just six have answered...yes, definitely.
13 have said...no, thanks...a number of whom are Asian and have elderly vulnerable relatives in the household.
The rest, helpfully, haven’t answered yet.
Despite Swales’ obviously well researched reassurances, the teachers will be equipped with a full face visor each and masks will be available for pupils to wear.
There are two Y6 teachers and while one is teaching those pupils who are present, the other will be providing an online teaching facility for the absentees for which money has been made available to facilitate.

Interesting times!
Oh love the sarcasm! But hey read the plethora of medical advice on how the virus is transmitted, the infection rate among children etc etc. Not my views or opinion, its the evidence thats available, but I understand that your concerned about a risk that "might be there" its just a shame youand a great many other people ignore the real ones that are there everyday, because tens of thousands of people would not be badly injured or suffer death very year!

You obviously didn't read the bit where I said many of the steps taken re PPE are more about reassurance than the actual effectiveness of the action! Oh and of course corporate back covering, as should something occur, which wasn't necessarily connected to the lack of PPE or protective measures but it will be claimed that it was.

If I had a £1 for every measure or action regarding a risk that I've had to take to either look as if I'm doing something or to cover my back legally, even though in actual fact either the risk was non existent or so unlikely to happen that the measures taken were not really required I would be a millionaire.

And if I had another £1 for every time the people who had asked for these actions, then disregarded them or stopped using the PPE or whatever after a while, I'd make another half million! But thats human beings for you.
