Assuming they do open next week which is highly unlikely it seems elsewhere are having problems, could lead to a spike in cases of Covid:

Hi Petrio what is your professional opinion on the capability of social distancing and controlling the virus in a school setting especially at the age groups mentioned.
The main issue for me is that the very young children aren't going back to a familiar school environment. They will not like it, they won't even recognise it.
It is another poor strategy by the government.

Not sticking up for government but what would be a good strategy?I agree with that, that's my main concern. The school my young daughter is used to is all about friendly interaction and play, as you'd want in year 1.
Would what be a good strategy? The kids interacting? No. The point was about potentially not sending kids as it isn't a good environment for them, not that the measures in place are wrong.Not sticking up for government but what would be a good strategy?
Yes. The letter we had received from our nursery also confirmed that the government had told all early years settings that social distancing wasn't manageable.The government has already conceded in guidance to schools that social distancing for the youngest year groups isn’t possible. Planning for the youngest is around hand washing and sanitising everything they come into touch with which won’t be much as all soft play, books etc won’t be available. Everyone knows you can’t socially distance 4 and 5 year olds as psychologically in the long run it does far more harm than good.
