I'm imagining what my school will be like if we re-open but have to or choose to bring in some social distancing measures.
- Change the timetable so different classes are let out at different times.
- Stop using lockers or have a locker rota so not all of the students are crowded at them at the same time.
- Change lunchtimes so that fewer students are in the dining room at once, and have them sit on alternate chairs, and queue intermittently.
- Get changed for P.E. in shifts to reduce the crowding in the changing room.
- Ask parents to keep students at home (it's a secondary school) if they are unwell.
- Take students' and staff temperatures on arrival in the morning (I've seen this done in other schools as a matter of course during annual 'flu season).
- Hand washing built into the timetable and routinely encouraged.
But how would we ensure social distancing in the classroom and on the buses (most of our students arrive on private buses) ?
