School statistics

[Nothingcomesforfree]

I can’t remember if it was here or a Daily Mail, with a link to cases in school. Would anyone know where I can link to it please?
Tried google but every but that is coming up.

Here

Thanks! Four minutes for an answer. You guys are amazing.

Interesting that it doesn’t record under two cases. So small village primaries won’t be on it if they have someone off sick.

I wrote to my MP to find out whether the Government (or any public body) is keeping any records of all the cases, class closures etc in schools - whether child or teacher, and whether the class closes because the teacher is waiting for a test or because a child has tested positive.

As far as they know, no records are being kept at all, not even of numbers of positive cases (less than outbreaks) in school, much less the amount of disruption that may be caused for allied reasons.....

In England there are approx 16,800 primaries and 3,500 secondaries.

Being thick... So the numbers next to the school when it first comes up is the number of cases in school for example St Helens.... 003 means 3 cases?

To be clear, that site tells you the numbers around the school, not within a specific school. This information has been available for months.

Thats 2 cases + though.
Theres actually well over the 1000 schools with cases since they went back.
And judging by that uni there are lots more schools with outbreaks than they know due to lack of testing of asymptomatic

I dont find the link very useful. Our cases are like 16 per 100k and we have had covid in 2 secondary and 1 primary locally and many more in the la.
I cant see the link shows about actual school cases dose it?? Just community rates

That makes more sense

That link doesn't show cases in school, it shows community cases in the local area. I've not been able to find a list of number of cases per school. In fact if I search the school I work at which I know has 6 cases I can't find any reports at all if the most recent 4 cases - the first 2 cases made the local press but not the more recent ones.

I was just curious what the number after the initial search comes up was.

He's lying.

Schools have to submit a return to the Department of Education every week.

That's good. It means that when DfE reply to the letter my MP's office is writing on my behalf, I should get all the data. That's really great to hear.

Quite a jump in cases in my area, unfortunately.
