I'm doing an art course and we're in full hours Monday to Thursday. At the moment we're drawing still life's so completely baffled as to why we are on an almost full timetable. There's nowhere to eat lunch so if it's raining we eat in the classroom with masks off. A few with visors, including tutors, who are going between three groups of about 20 per group, a few with masks off their nose. We are well spaced with dividers between us but windows and doors are closed most of the time.

None of that sounds safe. I'd be questioning the health and safety of the setup

It really isn't and nothing has changed since moving to level 3.

It would be worth voicing the class's concerns.
Further Ed has been advised to only bring students on campus where absolutely necessary. Outside of the other issues....
