I know that none of us know and we just have to wait and see but I wondered what people’s thoughts are.
Our school are planning for the eventuality that School will be part attendance and part online in sept and I’m worried. Really about children’s mental health if they’re out of Normal school for longer than 6-9 months or beyond.
What do you think? I’ve been very positive about school being normal By sept but I’m starting to feel quite negative about it. My kids are early secondary school years and it’s impacting their mental health now, just 3 months in.

I really really hope so but I really don't think it will be.

I hope that school returns as I fear for their mental and physical health.
Also I’m worried that it’s going to create lots of feral children because their parents have to return to work as society resumes and cannot spend time going over their work not being able to send them to any holiday clubs etc
It’s very worrying

At the school where I'm chair of governors the problem is space. If everyone comes back with the rules we have at the moment we have to find twice as many classrooms. The head and SLT will have to be really creative but it feels like an impossible task right now.

I think even if things improve over the summer then the part time guidance will stay in place maybe until December anyway just in case there's a second wave. That way they can hopefully continue with the part time model rather than close the schools again. I'd prefer if they just all went back full time as the risks to kids mental and social development is far greater than the risk of catching covid or passing it on to others. They've got more chance of being struck by lightening than catching it apparently.

Some Local primary schools near me Have so many key worker children in full time that the reception year 1 and year 6 can’t all attend. It just feels like so many children are losing out and I hoped so much it would be over by September
