The first case meant 60 pupils in year 12 - Northern Ireland's GCSE exam year - had to go into self-isolation, just weeks before exams started in November.
The work of contact tracing falls to school leaders themselves, meaning they have to respond to sudden alerts of positive cases at any time. But there was no traceable connection to other positive cases, so public health authorities said all the staff at the small village school - which has open-plan teaching spaces - needed to be tested.
She said she was worried it looked like the school had not prepared for the risk, when in reality "we've got hands that are red-raw from sanitising". And at The Prescot School in Knowsley that has meant a collective 700 days in the classroom lost for the year 11 students preparing for exams in the summer.
"We've obviously all gone through Covid and it's been strange for everyone. But there are other places it hasn't affected as much as here," he says.Felicity Sandford said her daughter Cerys was the only one in her form to be sent home after contact with another child in her Spanish class who had tested positive.

My son is on his third isolation in 3 months. I am seriously thinking of home schooling.

They're right, why are the Government sending kids, teachers and support staff into schools without a *proper test and trace system in place *proper - aims to save lives, not line the pockets of the Govt & their mates

I'm sure it hasn't been emotionally easy but let's be totally truthful... Most of what they haven't learned will not impact on their future lives. THINK about what you learned in 16+ years? Now come on already. Think of all the precious time your school STOLE from you.

It’s a brilliant exercise in social cohesion. They never stop learning it’s our nature as children. Keep that inner child curious & we learn from our experience. Britain will be stronger.
Their futures are being destroyed by the deranged lunatics in government.
