How many cases in your child’s school so far?

[Magnavixen]

Our children back have been back to school since last Thursday.

So far 3 positive cases in 3 different year groups.

They are in bubbles of approximately 180 students each.
2 of the positive cases have been in their year groups.
Only close contacts required to isolate.

I’m surprised at how quickly the cases are appearing. Is anyone else experiencing the same?

Dd3 went back to school Monday. She’s in year 6, small school with one class for each year group. Got a message from school today to say someone who she may have come into contact with has tested positive, so she has to self isolate for 2 weeks, along with two more year groups. If she develops any symptoms, we will all have to isolate. I’m praying this won’t happen as dd2 has her GCSEs this year and the less she misses, the better.

A whole year bubble has been shut down at DS's school today after 3 confirmed cased in that year. Thankfully not his but i'm wondering if it's only a matter of time.

Several cases, including me, at our school.

Senior school Zero cases.

After one week. 1 case. That’s with about 50% of kids back, the rest are virtual learning

None in DD's 2 form entry SE primary and none in DS's v small high school.

Sorry, not what you’ve asked, but how are we going to know Positive cases if people can’t get tests?
Will it be just a lot of individuals isolating as it spreads through the class, until someone can be tested?

3 confirmed, same year group. All infected before school started, but selfish parents sent them back to new school term while waiting for test results.

Both my DC are at the same secondary school. A year group was sent home yesterday as a positive case was confirmed. Luckily it wasn't either of the year groups DD and DS are in.

We're in a middle sized city, there have been confirmed cases at 4 other schools this week.

@chestergirl39 wow. That’s appalling. I’m all for not calling out people who get it (anyone can contract this disease), but sending your kids in when you know they may have symptoms is just so selfish.

Son's high school - 3 different year group bubbles isolating due to positive pupil cases in Y8, Y9 and Y11.

Daughter's primary - Y3 both bubbles isolating due to positive pupil case.

A) how do you know? B) why didn’t you report?

“A) how do you know?
B) why didn’t you report?”

Email from head informing us and very strongly reiterating the rules. First positive test was received on first day back in lesson one. Next 2 were couple of days later, friends of the first and still in school at time results came through.

Zero so far. Only went back on the 8th

So if friends with the first.... you didn’t know?

The school is at fault. They should not of accepted the child back whilst the result was pending.

@RepDom21 how is it the school’s fault? No mention the school knew the kids had been tested. Secondly, the guidance is clear if you have symptoms (so you need a test) you self-isolate till you get those test results.

A couple of children off sick in dc’ class. One had different symptoms (I assume as no test) and other not sure.

Just chat in playground rather than anything official from school

In my nhs office, our children go to 7 different schools. No cases or classes / year groups isolating etc (so far....)

None in a 300 pupil primary. Quite a few with sniffles though

Scottish primary back more than 5 weeks. No cases I know of.

DD is yr9 and so far, so good in her school (about 200-250 in a year).

What is less good is that the University has announced 8 cases but hasn't specified whether these were overseas students quarantining anyway, members of staff or students in rental accommodation off campus. Uni owned accommodation only started welcoming students today and we are expecting 25,000 over the next few days.

What could possibly go wrong!

“The school is at fault. They should not of accepted the child back whilst the result was pending.”

Not at all, school did nothing wrong. They sent clear guidance. They had no idea they were waiting for tests and should have been isolating. The fault was with the parents 100%.

None in the school I work in

Zero... presuming we are being told
