SIR – On Saturday I visited my favourite pub for the first time since mid-December. The staff had carefully organised everything and the beer tasted like nectar.
The pub, which is not big, was busy and there was a lot of talking and laughter. As I sat there sipping my pint, I couldn’t help wondering why Oliver Dowden, the Culture Secretary, and the Public Health England enforcers believe it’s safe for me to be in such an environment but that it would have been too risky for me to mingle the evening before with fewer than 30 people at a socially distanced choir practice with strict Covid protocols.

When schools reopen, longer school days could help pupils who may have suffered setbacks in lockdown to catch up

SIR – As a schoolmaster of 34 years, I recognise the challenge that both educators and learners are facing over “lost schooling” (report, February 1) – but it is not an insurmountable one.
One enviable benefit of independent education is that many independent schools have much longer working days than state schools, and some also provide lessons on Saturdays.
Extending the school day to 5pm would mean, for some schools, the equivalent of two extra days of teaching a week. This would enable a rapid catch-up. Saturday school could be offered for those requiring more support, with additional funding provided to reward teachers’ work.
