Are we feeling optimistic that schools WILL start returning from Monday? *MNHQ editing to note that this thread refers to schools in Scotland (WHICH IS FINE BY THE WAY AS THE SCOTS GET THIS ALL THE TIME IN THE OTHER DIRECTION signed a Scottish MNHQer)*

Does anyone know what time the address to MPs is due? I'm assuming it will be live streamed in Parliament before an official announcement later in the afternoon?

(UK)

Senior pupils, 2 lateral flow tests (at home) per week. Information and tests going out to schools.

2 metre distance, reviewed safety mitigations going out. £40 million injection to help.

^ secondary schools

@DumplingsAndStew

Preschool, P1, P2, P3, some S4-6, increase in those with ASN, phased return from Monday

Monitor impact, hope to set out second phase in 2 weeks. Think unlikely for further returns before 15th March

Where are you hearing this? They are talking about travel

Further details published soon RE qualifications for 2021. Payment of £400 p/r to those who manage exams usually.

Increased risk not within schools, but those around schools.

I'm watching the briefing,
I can only assume your updates are not actually real-time updates.

What does "manage exams" mean? There would only be one "exam manager" in a school. I thought the payment (derisory as it will be) was to teachers?

She has literally just announced they are second this tomorrow morning

They are announcing

OP this thread has baffled from the start but your constant updates of what is being said doesn't match what they are saying at the briefing.

I am listening on the radio and it is in time with what the OP posts

Mine must be behind then because I didn't hear anything t about schools until after the posted were made

Fireside are you watching yesterday's on catchup?

I am listening on the radio and it is in time with what the OP posts

But it's not, because there is no decision on schools yet. So it is not in line with what OP has posted at all

Sorry that's my attempting to listen, think, process and type at the same time.

I'm not clear, sorry please disregard that comment, it'll be clarified when the statement goes live.

@firesidetartan

Do you think I'm making it up?

@ItsIgginningtolooklikelockdown

Jesus, I hope not

NS said right at the start of the briefing about 20 mins ago that the phased reopening was going ahead as planned.

No, I just cant match, I think I am just behind actually

You think?

@firesidetartan I genuinely think if she's said the decision would be made tomorrow that you must be watching yesterday's. Today's isn't a briefing by the way, it's in the Scottish Parliament.

I'm not watching yesterday's I'm just stupid

As much as my P1 DD NEEDS back to school......I’m still wary.
I mean, she’s going to go back....but I’m nervous!

@DumplingsAndStew

You think?

Well yes, I don't have an issue with being wrong.

Honestly none of you bloody even notice that the OP was talking about SCOTLAND ...

And you wonder why we wanna leave ...
