class bubbles and twins

Hi, my first post hopefully in the right place.
I've been googling this question without success.
Could primary teachers tell me if their school are separating twins in year bubbles or putting them in the same class in class bubbles?
I am trying to find out if my dc's school is typical.
thank you

Whatever they were in before. If split they stay split.

That's only the same problem as every sibling in a school, isn't it?

It's not quite the same as twins could arguably BE in the same bubble whereas different aged siblings can't. (Also, in a single form entry primary school, they'd be together anyway.)

I think parents need to accept these bubbles aren't hole proof. Siblings will be split across years, cousins will be cared for by the same grandparent, wraparound may be bubbled by key stage. Minimising exposure is one of the aims, but the other aim is to know which students a positive case has been in contact with.

We’ve kept all our twins together their bubbles. Yes the whole sibling thing makes holes in the bubbles, but the point is to try to reduce risk rather than remove.

We have whole year group bubbles, so twins can stay in their separate classes.
Yes to PP who said they are only one of many measures to reduce viral exposure - they're all in the park after school anyway!
