Excerpts from a 'Children’s Task and Finish Group: update to 4th Nov 2020 paper on children, schools and transmission' state:
- Kids more likely to bring the virus into household than aged 17+
- young people 2-16 more likely to be first case in household - age 12-16 are 7x more likely
- 2-16 year olds more > 2x as likely to pass on virus
I believe this is the rationale used by SAGE to close schools.

Can counter that by SAGE in November finding the infection rate for teachers and staff was not above any other occupation.
Secondary attack rate is low at 10-13% too.
