Are there cases in your school?

[HelloMist]

With Omicron cases currently so high, do you know of positive cases in your children's schools yet? Is it primary or secondary?

Yes, several that I've heard about. Primary. (Not DC's class - yet!).

None in ours yet

Yes. 184 as of today. Why ?

70 known cases

A few at the end of term (perhaps 3% of the school)

None so far this term that I'm aware of.

Primary

Numerous in both primary and secondary. DS went back to school on Wednesday and tested positive last night.

About 150. Secondary.

Staff? 28

Why? I was just wondering, partly about how much information schools are sharing with parents. Ours has never given numbers for the whole school (and don't inform parents in other classes until there are a certain number of cases).

None that I'm aware of.

About 6 confirmed yesterday and another 5 today. Medium size primary. Only one staff member with covid atm. We actually had a child faint on Friday and ambulance crew did a lateral which was positive.

Probably. I don’t care. We don’t get told unless there’s more than 5 in our specific class or a larger outbreak across the school.

Small primary school - 15% of kids off.

I am going to guess yes but I don’t know.

I know there were loads of cases before Christmas but the school never told me, other parents in my kids class told me.

I can only assume no current cases in their class at the moment because no one has said anything.

3/24 in my class. Several in other classes. Numerous cases in the school community.

Primary.

I have no idea as we’re not informed

Which I’m fine with tbh

Other parents in our classes have been very good at letting other parents know and I've been asking DC each day of anyone in their class is off sick. Its not perfect but it gives a rough idea. I'd say about half the kids have had it in our classes.
I'm not sure what the relevance is in knowing though tbh.

I don't know and I'm fine with that.
Just as I'm fine to not know how many, colds, flu, dodgy tummy.....

One local secondary school has 10% from people testing at home or at the in school testing. They've had several outbreaks, more than other local schools.

In terms of my own childrens primary - no idea.

yup, 10 so far.

I'm a secondary teacher have between 1-5 students off with COVID in every class I teach.

Small secondary (700 students) with 45 off.

I have no idea how our schools are doing as they no longer inform us. Mind you, two of mine are home with Covid - the secondary son since Friday and the primary got a positive on Sunday. Primary son’s teacher has Covid.

17 staff, had to close to some year groups.

Given the pervasiveness of Omicron, it is a reasonable assumption that every class in every school has cases.

Yep loads in secondary today 2 year groups have been closed down for at least a week
