Do schools need to supply face masks to students?

With students returning to schools soon, it’s important that we all follow the Government’s advice around social distancing.

We understand going back to school or work during a pandemic can be scary; and sometimes students will need a little extra peace of mind so they can focus on their education.

Government advice is that students displaying symptoms must wear masks, however this could lead to individuals being singled out in a school setting, which is why we recommend all schools take up masks as a mandatory part of their post-lockdown uniform. All BSA member schools which have adopted the BSA Covid-Safe Charter are allowing all pupils and staff to wear face coverings or masks.

Having masks as part of your post-lockdown uniform has a number of other benefits:

Peace of Mind and added confidence for your students and staff
Better protected school population - the combination of masks and social distancing is better than social distancing alone
Uniformity of design. You can ensure that no students are left behind and that all those wearing masks meet your uniform requirements. Students picking their own masks could prove more difficult to manage
Professional representation of your school

How can I get masks to my students?

Many schools we work with prefer to order a suitable quantity of masks for their students and staff (we recommend 5 per student for weekly washing) and distribute via the school. However, for schools that want to make the delivery of masks even easier; Funky Face Mask can provide a custom online store where parents, students and staff can order online for home or school delivery.

Do Masks provide any additional protection?

At the time of writing the best way to prevent the spread of the virus is social distancing, by keeping at least 2 metres away from each other.

Masks protect those around the person wearing them, by having all staff and students wearing a mask you stand a better chance of avoiding the spread of the virus than just social distancing alone.

How many masks does a student need?

Our masks are hand-washable and can be reused for up to 60 days.

It is advised that student should change thier masks daily at a minimum, or more frequently based on the schools own risk assessment or if Government guidance or BSA guidance changes.

We recommended that each student should have a between 3-5 masks each, dependant on your laundry cycle.

Can we control the design of our masks?

With Funky Face Mask, Yes! You have complete control over the design of the masks we supply if you choose our Polyester Face Masks, with our Premium options you can choose the colour and place a small design or emblem on the side of the mask.

What guidance can we provide parents on how their children should wear and maintain their masks?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has a really helpful guide on how to wear a face mask that can be found here.

Funky Face Mask will also provide your school with a helpful PDF guide you can send to students, staff and parents on how to clean, wear and when to replace your mask.
