Primary and secondary pupils and students will return to school over the next week. It has been a busy couple of months for school management, who have been preparing for the safe return of the children to the school milieu. Nothing has disrupted our lives like this global health crisis and the thoughts of more disruption have worried people about what this year will look like. We don’t exactly know.

We are in a rapidly changing landscape, and the variants of this virus have created further chaos, so we have to get comfortable with uncertainty if we are to manage this year successfully. In short, we have to get used to living with Covid-19.
