Just wondered what thoughts are about extra curricular activities when schools go back in September? I am secondary school teacher and have 2DDs going back in to yr8 and yr9 at a different school. They are keen to go back to theatre classes starting up again in September. My gut instinct is that is a bad idea in that they will be exposed to kids from a number of different schools in the area. I am not worried so much about the risk from Covid but my concern is that it will increase the risk of them having to miss school from being asked to self isolate for 2 weeks if a member of the extra curricular class tests positive. I am aware that there is a certain inevitability to having to self isolate for 2 weeks at some point this year due to a year or local school lockdown but I am thinking that an extra curricular isolation at a different time to their rest of their year group would be hard to bear..
