My daughter has been offered at 1.5 hour face to face transition session in her new school, to meet her form tutor and the other chidlren who will be in her class. The school has planned for this meeting to be outside if the weather permits, or inthe school hall, if not.

Hers seems to be the only local secondary offering this, all the others are doing online sessions and her primary school isn't very happy about her returning to them after being in a different group. I'm trying to work our what is reasonable here and am just wondering what everyone else's schools are going?

I have a Y6 split into two bubbles going to six different high schools and NONE are offering transition days on site.

Blusterylake, children aren't supposed to be mixing outside their bubbles at all. You can meet in a group of 6 with 2m distancing outside.

Our new school had exactly that plan. 1 tutor group at a time, so 30 students, meet each other, their form tutor and head of year in the hall for 2 hours. Keeping 2m apart.

They had to scrap it though because from a variety of sources, they were told it was unwise to burst the current primary school bubbles.

So now we have to book a 5 min slot individually to meet their form tutor and head of year and collect their uniform.

We have not been offered this, but I would definitely let my son go if we were. I don't really understand your primary school's response, since the kids are able to mix with all sorts of other children outside of school now anyway.
