Tine to take and collect my children- to ask or not?

[Picklesandbeans]

How flexible is your school on personal ti e? We have 3 kids, 1 has covid 2 not. I've been off with covid and due back next week. Problem is dh will wfh to look after covid child but how to get other 2 to school and back- asc wont have them as covid in household- I'm tempted to ask my head if I can drop and collect them- will only be 2 to4 days max( as long as no other positives!) But I feel terrible asking due to being off and the inconvenience.
I'd be in at 9:05 and leave at 2:40. Would you ask? Not sure of other option?

I would...and I know it would be fine. However, I don't work in the UK anymore and my school is pretty good in terms of work-life-balance, with SLT having a generally realistic understanding of the difficulties when combining job and family.

Could you speak to other teachers about how they could help/cover you first and then go to the head with a solution rather than a problem?

@dolphinFC good idea, will do

I think that would be reasonable, particularly as it only for a few days?

My school would expect both parents to solve the problem - so if dh did drop off I could ask for pick up (not guaranteed of course, but it is exceptional circumstances)

I would ask, there's not much you can do, short of leaving your well kids with your DH. But your ASC are being very unreasonable, there's loads of Covid everywhere atm, if they exclude all the kids who have positive cases in the household, there'd hardly be anyone there. I'd raise this with the school (who presumably have the contract with the ASC). Tell them that if your employer doesn't agree to this, the only course of action open to you is for your well DC to stay at home with the DCs who have Covid. See what they say to that, you can't be the only parent that this policy is highly problematic for.
