The risks while travelling to and from school, managing pupil movement around the school, and ensuring social distancing are key challenges according to secondary schools preparing for June 15.

The government went ahead this week with its further re-opening of schools, with the majority of primary schools opening their doors on Monday (June 1) to pupils from Reception, year 1 and year 6.

Secondary schools are being asked to provide some “face-to-face” time for year 10 and 12 students from Monday, June 15. While there is flexibility as to how this can be delivered, including via online options, many schools are planning to bring students in.

A study involving 1,233 primary and secondary school leaders published this week has revealed their main concerns about re-opening to more students.

Top of the list of concerns were managing pupil transport (69 per cent), managing pupil movement around school (66 per cent) and organising school space to enable social distancing (65 per cent).
