Any schools coming out of the other side of Covid ripping through?

[Warhertisuff]

Just interested to hear whether any schools have weathered a Covid infection storm, and emerged with cases now falling and things getting back to normal, and hopefully a sense of relief that the school will be largely immune for the year ahead.

Large secondary with 8 cases

Primary 0 cases

Nursery 0

It was ripping through y10/11 last week but has reportedly slowed this week a bit. It does seem to have moved on to year 9 now, from what I'm hearing from other parents. Hard to know for sure though as we're not getting much information from school except weekly newsletter reports. Everyone is now in masks in corridors and busy areas.

The ripping through was 15 cases that exploded to 70 over one weekend.

Two weeks in we were about ten kids per class down and half the staff.

Now we're back to normal. No masks, all good, no long term after affects.

We hardly had any cases last year but it's ripping though now (has been since the beginning of term)

General view is Reading festival etc

Been back in masks, no assemblies, no sports fixtures since week 2

Tiny SEN school which had to close for 6 weeks in February when 12 out of 17 staff caught Covid along with about half of our kids. We haven't had another case since then thank goodness and fingers crossed it stays that way!

Both my nieces are at secondary school and both had covid this past month., one currently.

Oddly they don't appear to have caught it from one another - or rather not quickly, if it was from each other.

One caught it just over 2 weeks ago and her mum also got it from her a few days later. Isolation for both ended.

Youngest daughter tested positive yesterday - something like day 12/13 after mum got it, and about 15/16 days after sister.

Different year groups seem to be being hit at different times.

My daughters school has had to close as of this week until after half term

This time last year it took about 6-8 weeks for it to go right through school, infecting about 75% of staff, along with parents and children (infant school so often the children weren't being tested, plus it wasn't standard to test close contacts without symptoms then, it were LFTs being used.)

We’ve got a case in every year group but it’s not rising exponentially right now. The d&v bug did rip through the school though but now it’s just colds. However last year we didn’t have any covid cases until November when we were hit hard so I’m not overly optimistic that we’ve dodged the bullet just yet

Large secondary of 1000+ pupils, currently averaging around 30 new cases a week for the last three weeks, so around 1 in 15 off at any one point. Not sure on staff or sixth form numbers. Back to masks at all times and no whole school/whole year group events. Open evening went ahead but no day visits. I'm hoping we'll be done by half term, but who knows.

Our school had lots of cases last academic year, but very few this year - probably due to increased immunity.

It never "ripped through" my children's school in the first place. Why the need for the dramatic language....

Anyway, we're in Scotland and went back to school on 12th August. Few cases for the rest of that month, and the first week of September. One of my kids identified as a close contact as she'd spent all day one Saturday with someone who tested positive on the Sunday. Negative and straight back into school. The volume of "there has been a positive case in your child's yeargroup" texts has slowed from 2 or 3 a week, to nothing for about 3 weeks now.

Numbers of cases in Scotland have slowed dramatically, a third of the number of cases reported first week in September and dropping all the time.
