Send us your questions about schools reopening for Newcastle's education chief

Do you have questions about sending your child to school next month?

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

You can put your questions to Mark Patton, the assistant director for education and skills at Newcastle City Council, this week.

We will be holding a live Q&A with Mr Patton to answer key questions from you about the reopening of schools.

Use our comments section below to leave your questions, and we'll put them to Mr Patton in a live video, which we will stream live on Facebook and which will be available to view afterwards on our website.

You can watch the Q&A live on our Facebook page at 4pm on Thursday, August 27 where you'll also be able to comment live with any new questions you would like us to ask.

You can also tell us your views by taking our short survey.
