School staff...how many students are coming in?

[FeelingCrap54]

I’m only asking as we had around 20+ confirmed but as of today none are attending.

We are a special school so all our children have an EHCP and could attend but parents have decided that it’s too risky (I don’t blame them).

I’m a TA and so have been asked not to come in at all.

This is all very well but I do feel I am being paid to sit in the garden when I could be doing something useful to help frontline workers.

I will volunteer for the NHS initiative as I am an ex nurse (been six years so they haven’t called me in the first lot of recalls).

Feeling a bit useless in it all. I’ve registered with Open Education online and am doing some teaching and learning based courses. The school sent these suggested courses out via email and I am making a start,

Anyone else found that students are not attending.

Yep-we has two today out of around sixty eligible secondary students.

Had, not has!

14 yesterday , 9 today taking things a day at a time.

Very few. Well done parents!

Brilliant news that those who can are staying home. Makes it safer for the pupils/families with no choice

18 yesterday, 9 today although different children as it depends on shift patterns.

Way under the estimated figures (probably less than a third of the eligible).

Phew parents are finally listening!

9 both days out of a school of 450.

School of 2200. Around 70 signed up last Thursday/Friday. Only 10 actually turned up on Monday.
I think the message really got out over the weekend to keep them at home if at all possible.

1600 usually, expected around 60. 14 turned up
DSs school 600 usually. 10 turned up

One form entry primary. 90+ parents signed up on Friday. 28 turned up yesterday, 16 today.

About 25 both days so far (small primary).

Dh in medium sized secondary has had around 15 out of the 60 they were expecting.

OP another thing to look at is foodbanks. My local one is 'staffed' (all volunteers) by mostly over 70s, so they are now very down on the number of people they have helping. Things may have changed since yesterday's announcement but if you're looking to volunteer and the NHS 'don't want you', orgs like foodbanks might be v grateful!

The NHS volunteer website is crashing every time I try to submit my details.

The local community Voluntary Service have my details too.

I’m looking at anything I can do...the food bank is a good suggestion,

11 yesterday & 9 today ( 2 form entry infant school).
