Surely the argument would be for them to prove all schools are “unsafe”

It remains difficult to distinguish where transmission between children takes place, and it is important to consider contacts made outside of schools.
12.It is not known whether measures with similar stringency and adherence as Spring, with both primary and secondary schools closed,would be sufficient to bring R below 1 in the presence of the new variant. The introduction of Tier 4 measures in England combined with the school holidays will be informative of the strength of measures required to control the new variant but analysis of this will not be possible until mid-January.
