Are there any alternatives to sending whole years home?

[notevenat20]

Near where I live most of the secondary schools have now sent at least one year home. At DCs school this was because of one positive test result for a child. The year gets sent home for 14 full days.

This can't go on I feel as soon most of the schools will be half empty.

If you were the govt, is there any system could be set up so you don't have to send home an entire year for 14 days?

What do they do in France and Spain where they have more cases than us?

Our school send home to affected child and any sat in close proximity. No need to send the whole year group home

The almost zero media reporting on school closures or on the situation within schools

I've complained to the BBC about this. I find it very sinister.

Is there a web page where someone is collected all the schools years that have been sent home?

There are various social media accounts, eg Boycott Return to Unsafe Schools on Fb. They only add a school if there's a local media report. However it's unclear whether they ever take a school off their map.

The only other source is the weekly ONS report which gives stats for numbers of outbreaks in educational settings.

No need to send the whole year group home

How do you know, without talking to the people who work at a school?
