As secondary schools across the West re-open, teachers havebeen talking to us about how they feel about it.

Charlie, from Wiltshire, said he is worried students won't take social distancing as seriously as teachers and therefore he might be more at risk of bringing coronavirus home.

He said: "Iam anxious about a formal return to school for larger groups of students.

"Myschool is very concerned about protecting our health and well-being, but at theend of the day we'll have to be in close contact with youngsters who simplydon't have the same worries as me.

"I'll suddenly become the weak link in myfamily unit - I'm in my fifties so I'm worried, but my wife has asthma which isscary.

“Shealso supports her mum who is shielding herself while living alone, so if any ofus do fall ill we would have that worry."

He said he feared the return to school would be hard for some students in particular.

"We've all been isolated for so long, returning will be really hard for manystudents, it's not the same as a summer holiday.

"Managing emotions andbalancing some normality of schoolwork will be an ongoing issue."
