Temperature checking at schools

[SleepingStandingUp]

How often are your children being temperature checked at school? Just curious.

Ours is thrice daily.

Umm.... 0!

Three times a day?! I hope none at ours, we'll see next week I guess.

Zero. It's not in the guidance so I don't think many are?

Don't think they are doing it at all.

Not at all.
Where are you OP, and how big is the school if they have the time and spare personnel to do this for all the pupils?

Our school takes it once, on the way in.

Ds' school, never.

I don't think they're doing it at all at my DD's primary school (she's not back yet).

None

West Midlands, not a Birmingham which has rising cases Single form entry so about 220.

Dinner ladies it lunchtime and he's not terribly communicative on who else.

My DDs nursery is temp checking the kids once, on arrival

0, also West Mids, about 250 on roll.

Once a day on arrival.

Zero, and we are in an enhanced measures area!

Ok good to see were just a touch neurotic then. We also burst bubbles if a kid gets a SYMPTOM

What does "burst bubbles" mean?

Sorry, when they send the whole bubble of kids home because one has a symptom / in most schools when someone tests positive

Once a day here. On the way in. We also have to check temperature before leaving the house. To save a wasted journey I assume as some children travel a fair way to get there.

Makes sense checking at home tbh if they're gonna get checked at school

So you send a whole class/ year group home every time somebody has a cough or high temperature??? That's unsustainable surely?

We shall see.

The rules state that if the child is symptomatic at school the parent will be called to collect them urgently and the whole bubble will be of until a negative test or if positive, the standard 14 days.
