I’m shocked at this. The staff didn’t break the law - why on earth should they live their lives being cautious beyond the point of guidelines when the government is shoving them unprotected back into overcrowded schools?! I’m appalled to read what the head wrote to parents. Way to undermine your entire staff like naughty children. No wonder they needed the party if this is the kind of person they work for. Should they also not have attended weddings or taken advantage of ‘eat out to help out’ or done any of the other legal socialising?

By the way, no vested interest here. Not in the area and don’t know the school or people involved.
