Cheers mate. I've got something as I've not been right for a while (the influx of germs after 6 months away hit us all really hard) and since Tuesday I've got worse so seeing if I can/need a test.
The school informed me, although the student in question clearly doesn't know what 2 metres is! I had to say if I'd broken any social distancing or anything and I explained I had because the room isn't big enough to house that many students etc. (I'd brought this up at a union meeting with the brass so was maybe a bit more confident on it)
PHE guidance changed a few weeks back, so the whole years don't go off and they've stuck to that. We've had groups of 40+ go off and they have to use seating plans and interview kids and staff to ascertain who was where and what possible contact there has been. I sympathise with the schools here as it is the government guidance and in my opinion not about risk management but keeping nubmers down.
School have been told they must not identify students and are using GDPR as the reasoning, but that doesn't necessarily hold up. Likewise staff, but some have waived anonimty and told everyone. If I test positive I'll do the same.
We've been hit really hard and had lots of staff and students in and out this half term. It's been the worst half term of my career and I think a lot of that has been stress related hence why I'm so run down. |
Hope you manage to get a test & that it's negative. Wish you better soon. |  |

Thanks, Mullet.
We have been repeatedly told that we will be told when the school is made aware of a positive test. We have had plenty of negative tests. I have been told that a club in the community has closed because one of our students tested positive but the school maintains they haven't been told. I am expecting either the school finds out Monday, the rumour is false or, just possibly, the student hasn't been in school for the 2 weeks prior to testing positive (which then begs the question why were the attending the sport club?).
Teaching is currently nothing like the job we signed up for. Mental health among students (and all the knock-ons for behaviour) and staff is shocking at the moment. Look after yourself and keep talking to your colleagues, the Union and venting on here - it is healthy for us. Also remember that, despite the pressures, 95% of the students are actually being fantastic. |  |
