Just in time for the Christmas break. As it's the holidays we're allowed chairs and everything. I believe even buffets are permitted currently? No going to see Bond films though obviously.

Stolen from previous threads…
'You are most welcome to this school staff support thread to get us through stressful times. It is meant for school staff only – a sort of room of requirement for school staff to let off steam.

Baiters, haters, goaders, and bashers can jog on somewhere else.

If you are NOT staff and just have a general education query please start your own thread.

Do not give the staffroom password to non-staff as it attracts the wrong sort of crowd.

Other requirements for staff room entry include the ability to find the staff room, the ability to find a clean mug in the staff room, knowledge of the photocopier codes, and the ability to sniff out where the booze is stashed - Thirsty Tuesdays, Fizz Fridays now in operation.'

Happy New Year, Republicans!

Compulsory masks are back in secondary school classrooms from the start of term. Way to go Tories, announcing this late in the evening of NYD Hmm.

Best to stay away from the Coronavirus board today, I think Grin

Happy New Year Everyone, here's hoping 2022 is better than last year. Well the anxiety dreams have started! Feeling stressed about this week and what's to come as we'll have nothing except open windows and a co2 monitor in primary....

namechangedyetagain · 02/01/2022 08:55

@eitak22 mine too Sad. Actually have that dread in the bottom of my stomach. Probably because I've been so ill over the holidays that I have mostly slept and not worked or planned at all.

My ECT time will once again be covered by supply (and we all know how scarce that is) so I'm feeling a little anxious about the term ahead.

BitterTits · 02/01/2022 09:45

Happy new year!

BitterTits · 02/01/2022 09:46

And so it begins (well on Tuesday) - the pretence of mitigations via mask and ventilation, while in fact we'll be told we can't insist on masks and windows only need to be open for 5 minutes in 30.

I wonder how long until the next learning walk / book scrutiny is announced.

phlebasconsidered · 02/01/2022 09:54

Happy new year all.
Fingers crossed it's a hopeful one!
Dd is back in school on Weds and the police took over the assault investigation and are doing a good job.
I've got a full school inset on Tuesday! Pure daft.

Monkeytennis97 · 02/01/2022 10:32

Just had a DfE email updating the vulnerable/critical worker list... they are definitely spooked now.

Piggywaspushed · 02/01/2022 10:56

Oh, I lost this thread!

aninspectorbores, I note you didn't manage it Wink

AnInspectorBores · 02/01/2022 11:00

@Piggywaspushed

No, I didn't Blush. Got sucked in. But I'm going out now! (You and Phleb are doing sterling work on there.)

Piggywaspushed · 02/01/2022 11:03

Enjoy!

chocolateisavegetable · 02/01/2022 11:11

@Monkeytennis97 have they added many professions to the key worker list, as far as you can tell?

Monkeytennis97 · 02/01/2022 11:13

@chocolateisavegetable I thought it looked similar to last time but I can't really remember tbh.

chocolateisavegetable · 02/01/2022 11:17

No problem Monkey If you didn't notice any, it suggests that there probably aren't significant changes. Enjoy the rest of your break!
