Back to school survey: Tell us what you think about schools opening in September

Boris Johnson has issued a plea to parents to send their children back to the classroom when schools reopen next month.

The Prime Minister said the risk of contracting coronavirus in schools is “very small”, and that pupils face greater harm by continuing to stay at home.

Many pupils in England have not been to class since March, when schools were closed except to look after vulnerable children and those of keyworkers.

Schools in Scotland reopened earlier this month, while those in Northern Ireland will welcome pupils again on Monday. English and Welsh schools will follow suit in September.

But how do you feel about this?

Are you comfortable about schools opening in September? Do you feel your child will be safe in the proposed bubbles? Do you need school to reopen so that you can work?

And what about face masks? The government says it is being 'led by the science' in not requiring pupils to wear them in class. What do you think?
