Thats the message I took, already told my oldest she’s not going back until September 

Can you tell me how you are going to get a class of 30 three year olds to socially distance? I'd greatly appreciate knowing how because in 25 years working in schools I've never seen it happen.

You could be walking along the beach to the construction site...

That's the problem here.  The message was clear,  now there are lots of assumptions being made - Loads of "if's and but's" and  massive scope for boundary testing.  BJ says the penalties for not complying are to be ramped up,  but the Public and Police need to be crystal clear what the law actually is !

Why does unlimited exercise start on Wednesday? and not tomorrow ?

I can tell you what my school has been like because we haven't shut. There have been fewer children but the staff have been on rota so in the classes themselves haven't been much different other than not mixing with the rest of school. No PPE, no distancing, no cleaning other than normal and if you want hand sanitiser you have to bring your own. 

I can only speak for my school obviously. 

Ditto , told Ethan that , he's quite pleased as he enjoys schooling from Home

Eva year 6 isn't so happy 

Well, good for you 

Some employers are not so considerate and who is going to make sure they comply with social distancing?

The NEU have called it nothing short of reckless.

At our school the staff who are in on the rota tomorrow are expecting more calls and potentially a lot more children. I'm in on Thursday so I'll keep folk informed on what's going on and the general mood.

I find it baffling that FS and Y1 would go back at the same time as Y6 children given the understandable ineptitude of the little 'uns' ability to socially distance.

He’s told people to go back to work tomorrow and to discourage public transport there will be reduced service. .
What if employees insist on staff coming in who have no choice but to use public transport?

A expect to see images tomorrow of packed tube trains.

Weather looks a bit better then 

Similar in my school except I increased the cleaning expectation- after all, there was less area to clean, so more rigour was reasonable; has worked well- cleaners didn't fancy the alternative- clean every room, every loo, even if it wasn't used; after all, no risk from unused surfaces.

Anyway, I haven't voted for ages because of the tripe at the front of political agendas, but Boris has won my heart. He's absolutely right about the 'possible' (and only if) year groups that should return in Primary in June.

He is also right that economy and hope are not the dipsticks by which to risk returns.

Science and Health. 

(PS not aimed at you NS).

Winston is widely hailed, but wasn't really in the front line. 

Boris!

 Yeah piece of piss mate

No, according to Gooner and Speckled Jim it'll be easy.

Edit: you beat me to it 

 Unlimited outdoor exercise includes angling, golf, water sports and tennis provided all socially distanced from Wednesday

 You can drive to a park or beach in England but not Wales / Scotland

Seriously? 

I'm guessing the learning they have missed, phonics, learning to read etc is the reason they have been selected.

Agree- and Police zeal is potentially the issue, if it is not well directed.

Go and sit in the sunshine- drive to exercise. Lovely.

In any case, before tonight, you need only to look at the freedoms that have been veiled:

No - it's because Yr & Y1 have the most vulnerable children, over all.

Name a British PM who has managed better in such circumstances?

Not sure what's so confusing to be honest. People are forgetting that decisions on businesses opening tomorrow will have been made behind the scenes, with government input. These decisions will have been made days ago.

If you've not been given notice to go into work, you don't go into work, that's how I read the situation. If your employer wants you in, you'd soon know about it.

I'm afraid people are making mountains out of mole hills. 'Sleepness night'? Really?

Any chance to cut the government down and some are all over it.

All a bit of a 'nothing' speech; vague, mixed, waffle. 

But I see the Tory loyalists and Brexit slaves are predictably making it out to be some great oratory.
