We reckon that we have students coming in with covid. We are in one of the worst places (Oadby and Wigston in Leicester) and there is no way there cannot have been more cases. We think kids are embarrassed to say because of the social media abuse the first few cases got back in September. We are still currently due 1 week of half term next week.

Social media abuse?! That's awful. I can't quite understand that, although some of our students were very coy about being diagnosed before lockdown.

I swear I have had weekends that have lasted longer than this half term holiday!

We cancelled all our after-school sports clubs from Monday after Government guidance received on Wednesday afternoon. Now Nick Gibbs posts that sports and other clubs can and should continue - but only for working parents, vulnerable children etc., reinforcing the fact that we are only childcare. So cross.

I'm not at all surprised Cyclops. The unis are being told to keep going with F2F teaching for things that could be done online too. They're utterly incompetent.

We cancelled all of ours as well. And they were only just about to begin after half term anyway. There was no guidance at the time. We went on the basis that we all know schools aren't actually that safe, and no one really wants their children there any longer than they have to be. I think, looking at the guidance that later came out, we'd still have cancelled, as we don't market our clubs as wrap around care, which was the version of clubs that we read as still being okay to have running.
We do have an after school club (external provider), which does two-year age groups, and that's not exactly as full as it would usually be. I think, out of 16 spaces in each of the clubs I was offering, my biggest take-up was 9 children in one group. Others were looking at 4-7 children in each group.
We're a primary school, and so don't technically have to go down the route of having adults wearing masks, but we've introduced it as a policy that they are worn in all communal areas, corridors, etc. They are also worn on the playground, and parents are encouraged to wear masks when dropping off/collecting children.

We wear masks in exactly the same way, LR.
Our normal before and after school childcare is running and is full, as usual.

It does seem a bit daft that we are having debates about whether it is Covid safe for children to bring in cash donations for Children in Need, but we are marking exercise books with absolutely no quarantine at all!
