Secondary school pupils in Scotland have been advised to wear face coverings if it is impossible to physically distance, from Monday. The Scottish education secretary has underlined that it is not mandatory and nobody should be sent home for not wearing one.

We want to hear from teachers and parents across the UK on whether they or their children will be wearing face coverings in school.

Share your experiences

If you are choosing to wear a face covering, what are your reasons for doing so? Is your school happy for people to wear them? If it is not, will you be wearing one regardless? If you are a parent, will your child be wearing one?

You can get in touch by filling in the form below. Your responses are secure as the form is encrypted and only the Guardian has access to your contributions. If you are under the age of 16, your parent or guardian will need to provide parental permission.

One of our journalists will be in contact for publication before we publish, so please do leave contact details.
