Has your child had to isolate from school ?

[starrynight19]

Out of interest would you mind posting your area and how many , if any periods of isolation they have had ?

North west
Dd y8 periods of isolation - 1
Dd y11 periods of isolation - 3

Year 13 and year 2 both self isolating right now.

Year 12 sorry

Birmingham DD year 10 just started her second one DS year 4 0

South coast

Year 1 son- 0
Year 5 son-0
Where I teach--not a single covid positive as of yet (I'm surprised as its a four form entry primary school so quite big).

Berkshire. Year 2 and Year 4, no isolation and no cases in school.

DH works in a school of 1250, they had a few isolated cases and one bubble burst so the whole of Y12 was sent home but no one got ill (the positive cases were asymptomatic and caught at home, no spread). No staff cases.

South east

Yr 5 - none
Yr 8 - none
Yr11 - is currently off but they don’t seem to be sending whole bubbles home anymore so they are one of a 10 from their bubble.

duggeeallday it’s so hard for them isn’t it. Dd will be able to return next week after her third period of isolation. First time she returned to school for two days before going off and this time she was out of isolation five days before going back in. I think as much as she wants to go back she is dreading it in equal measure

Well spoke to soon ,Ds1 has just been sent home for two weeks to self isolate again 🙄

SE
Year 4 O
Year 7 1
Year 10 0

All in different schools.

West Midlands (in a very high case area).

Dd year 2 not at all.

Ds year 13 not at all.

Liverpool

Years 10&8

Both 100% attendance

There’s been cases - even some in their class but they’ve been sat 2m away so not sent home (achool uses seating app- no deviations)

No school should be sending whole year home

No achool I know locally does that and it goes against advice

It’s close contacts of the case

Not contacts of contacts

That’s just lazy on behalf of school not making bubbles tighter

My school isn’t ‘lazy’.

At KS3 we have bubbles students into tutor groups but at KS4 they are set and take options. KS5 also mix across a whole year due to A-levels, plus they’re educated in multiple sites.

Currently we’re sending year groups home as we haven’t enough staff to safely open to all.

Bucks:
Yr12:0
Yr:10:0
Yr5:0
Yr1:0

All are at private schools. Only 1 case so far in year 7 that they've told us anyway!

Dd is year 10 and also has 4 options on top of her 6 gcse classes

She moves around classrooms all day every day mixing with diff people depending on what subjects they’ve chosen or sets etc

Last week her mate in English tested positive but due to seating app the teachers knew dd and this girl sat on opposite sides of class so only those on 2m radius sent home - so only the 2m in each of that kids class

So not the whole class never mind the whole year!

No school should be sending whole year home

Schools don't decide. PHE decides.

Our reception has to be treated as one due to the school layout - there are no doors between the classrooms to start with, just open doorways. Its not laziness, it is school layout. Its an old Victorian classroom too so not much we can do really.

Key Stage 1 is different so we can leave them as class bubbles in general.

However, the whole year groups are all out at play together regardless so ...

Primary school in Greater Manchester with 180 kids, 0 cases confirmed so far so neither child (yr 1 and 3 has isolated). Don't expect this to last much longer. Several parents have however tested positive.

London suburb - 3 schools 0 isolations (we have had one but due to own DC's temperature).

Yes I understand phe decide but they do so based on what the school has done to monitor movement and seating and contacts etc

If a school is sending whole year groups home it’s becauae they haven’t done enough to reduce risk and make bubbles smaller

A child doesn’t get within 2m of day 180 kids across a secondary year group. Why aren’t school giving kids a recorded seat, staggered lunch and breaks etc

Dds year group has had about 2-3 cases each week continually since sept and she hasn’t had to isolate once

Question to parents of primary school children -have there been instances of NOT sending the whole class home?
Whereas I think sending the whole class/bubble home could be OTT I'm not really sure where you draw the line especially with younger children who constantly mix with each other. The older they are the more likely they are just to stick with their 'friends' surely.

North West. Dd year 11, ds year 8. No periods of isolation. There have been a handful of cases in school, but my dc's bubbles haven't yet been affected.

We have seating plans but we can staggered times if the day as our pupils arrive on coach and train.

Each year group has a rota for lunch but it’s impossible to stagger within that time as we need to feed 1250 pupils in 40 minutes.

*can’t stagger
