Children with symptoms can get tested
Isnt the main reason they say it's fine to open schools is that most of them are asymptomatic? How does that held prevent transmission into the community?

Regarding insurance and liability, DfE hasnt spoken to insurers, particularly important for Independent sector.

This is an answer for @MoreThanScore when asked why yr 6 and not yr 5

On PPE across education settings, its pointed out the guidence is similar to that which originally applied to care homes and led to disaster
Gibb says hes led by the science, but then a few mins later gives an answer that appear to be more a supply issue

Importance of SATs is asked,

DfE not modelled impact on disadvantaged, when questioned about online guidence taking a month after lockdown he said priority was resources.

As with the guidence for increasing student numbers, it seems work on supporting students during lockdown only began after the announcement was made.
