I don't understand why there is no acknowledgement Government and/or media about what is happening in our Primary schools
-
I really don't know Many, many children have tested positive - all year groups affected, but particularly Y6 It's horrible, it is a lovely school with lovely staff...…. My own youngest granddaughter is self-isolating as she has been in contact with another child in Y1 who has tested positive Worrying times
-
Happy Friday! Feels very odd to be at home Good news - our school are staying closed - sad news - six staff members have tested positive
-
So sorry to hear about your school louby
-
Thanks Panders - definitely no kindly Santa though - pressies will wait to January and we will say that Father Christmas left them whilst we were not there
-
Well that's it for me I'm done - I had hoped to stay open until tomorrow, but it was not to be, my parents have, quite understandably, 'voted with their feet', I was down to just three children this morning, so that's it now..... Miserable way to end the term really, although the three children had an excellent time today All of their Christmas presents are sitting here looking at me as I type this, they will be given to them in January now Sat down at about 2pm and promptly fell asleep for nearly three hours - do you think I needed that?! I'm not sure what is going to happen at our primary school, I do hope that they are not 'made' to reopen next week.....
-
That is awful louby Our headteacher has had to write in one of her letters an 'instruction' to parents to take self-isolation seriously after groups of children have been seen out playing together Not long now louby - hang in there x Personally I would just like to stay under my duvet for the foreseeable
-
Thanks louby - I asked LA for advice last week and was told that I can't close - oh well, I am not known for following orders! I really don't give a flying flamingo about funding, will repay that if that's what is required
-
The school have such a good system set up - a text message comes through saying 'urgent check your emails' - I must work out how to do that
-
Thanks fm - crossed posts there
-
Thanks for the support mousie, so pleased that result was negative, have just had copy of the latest letter that the school have sent to parents - it is now only Y4 unaffected - scary stuff
-
Well done the to the rafflers! Have just sent a letter to all of my parents - we are going to finish this Friday (instead of 18th) - I need to be ruled by head and not my heart......the family with one confirmed case, now has three confirmed cases, all young boys all coping well thankfully, he cheerfully told me they can come out of isolation 14th December and my heart sank - rightly or wrongly I don't want their little girl back this side of Christmas, so that was it for me decision made
-
We actually had a brilliant session, thanks for asking Have decided that we are going to plough on to end of term unless anything drastic happens, did have confirmation late yesterday evening that the brother of one of our little girls has now tested positive (poor love) their little girl has been self-isolating along with rest of family since he started with symptoms on Tuesday, one family have taken their child out because he has grandparents at home I completely understand their decision We don't finish until Friday 18th so two more weeks to get through - we will see, staff team happy to carry on at the moment
-
A few things from the 'olden days' were actually pretty good!
-
Snowing here today.... One of my little boys said "it's snowing but it's not Christmas yet because baby Jesus isn't on the roof" Think he is a little mixed up 🤣
-
Oh no - that would have been exciting!
-
It's Friday - yay! whoop! whoop! - I am so glad to see the back of this very stressful week We have decided that we will plough on to the end of term but will obviously monitor the situation carefully Happy weekend y'all
-
I really am beginning to think my little village has somehow offended the gods 🤦♀️
-
You know I said "will see what tomorrow brings"
-
Thanks for taking the time to respond zigzag and young Froglet, very much appreciated I honestly can't believe that Kent is in such a mess with this - we were doing really well, zigzag your parents should think on - we were in Tier 1 before the national lockdown Will see what tomorrow brings...….at least I know it won't be a message from school telling me which year group is closing - that horse has bolted ☹️
-
Thanks louby - you are right of course Feeling a little more positive now, will discuss with staff again tomorrow (might be virtually all we did do today) Only nine days to go - can we make it - who knows...… I think our numbers will drop off quite quickly now that school is closed, we will see
-
Thanks so much for responding fm, very much appreciated The situation has moved on, the whole school has now closed, parents had to collect their children at 11am My situation is that I have one family who are waiting for test results for children at school - whole family (including the one that I have with me) are obviously all self-isolating I am just off the phone, rang LA for advice, I knew what their take would be it was along the lines of "unless you have a child attending your setting who has tested positive then carry on as usual", the other priceless piece of advice was "if you feel especially at risk, you stay home and your staff should carry on without you" - yeah right, I am not doing that, how can I possibly ask that of my team - oh and "follow the guidance issued"...... I am going to have a long hard think about all of this, it all feels very unsafe, almost all of my children have siblings at school Sorry chaps you will have to be my 'sounding board' - Mr S tries hard but he has no grasp of how this all works For what it's worth, I couldn't give a flying flamingo about funding, LA seem to think that is the be all and end all - it's really not
-
Just received email from school - another Year group is closed from today........I really don't know what to do, this is all getting too real now
-
That's awful Our school is fairly small - so ii is sixty missing children - my heart bleeds for the lovely headteacher and of course for the children and families affected
