My daughter teaches at a Comprehensive in a modern building in London’s East End, and says that having a full school with social distancing Is just about achievable. However she is aware of many schools in her borough where it is downright impossible. Old buildings, cramped classrooms and playing fields sold off. Not a cat in hells chance of social distancing and parents know it. No effort being made to find ‘nightingale’ classrooms to solve the problem, so I think there will be a lot of fines (announced by the government today) on worried parents in September.

Agreed but Keir Starmer is going to be on tricky ground shouting about it after all it was the last labour government that sold of schools and playing fields. Look at Plymouth starting with Southway and Whitleigh
