Is anyone still wearing masks at school gate?

[Chippingbird23]

Just asking as ours as eased off a bit now? Is it compulsory?

I never have

Yes in primary school playground (SE)

Still compulsory at our primary school

Yes compulsory at our school in the north east

Not compulsory in ours, but strongly recommended, and most parents are not twats and wear them.

When entire year groups are still sent in isolation because of positive tests, at least it shows the kids parents take things seriously.

We are at a Primary

We are still not allowed into our school playground so maybe that’s why we haven’t had to

We are required to (East London). And we've been sent a reminder today because there is an outbreak in Y3.

We have to wear them in the playground. They are generally put on at the last possible moment and the hanging outside the gates is done maskless without any social distancing.

Yes, though I think it is a bit pointless.

Yup we are primary in Wales.

I don't necessarily agree with it, but it doesn't really set a good example to my kids does it? If I want them to follow school rules, then I should to.

Yes we are. Some parents were getting a bit lax so we had a reminder email

Yes we are.

I don't bother anymore, just send kid into playground and make sure they make it to the door.

It's a complete waste of time. Outdoors transmission even before vaccines was and is almost if not completely negligible.

We generally do at DC's school. No one actually gets out of their cars though so it's just those of us who walk who are actually in the playground and we're not generally even near to each other. If someone forgets they still come in anyway but people do generally wear them.

Yes it's still required at our infant school.

Yes compulsory at dd's primary in SE London.

Yes still required at DD's school. I've seen the head giving out disposable masks to parents who aren't wearing one.

Yes nearly everyone does still

Yes for primary but nobody gets pulled up if they aren’t wearing one.

Yes still are

Yes, it's compulsory at ours.

Yes still required here

We are supposed to, I still do but I do feel a bit daft now. Yesterday at pick up out of the 31 (yes I counted) parents only 2 were wearing masks. We have staggered times for each class although they do often have different parents there overlapping and we've not been allowed inside the school grounds since March last year but we were still asked to wear masks for dropping off/pickup and tbh it's not the hill I want to die on, I don't understand it but im not going to start nagging the school, they've got enough to deal with.

Yes. We are in an area with rising cases and my grandchildren's primary school requests that masks are used. The youngest (year 1) has spent the last week at home due to a case in his class.
