My daughter's year at school has been closed, due to a student TA that has tested positive.
She only did a couple of days in the year group, with the 8th October being her last day.
School have told parents that Year 5 kids have to isolate to the 26th October, 10 days since the TA's positive test on the 15th. Even though her last day in school was the 8th.
School are maintaining that this is correct because that is what PHE told them to do. Even though a) it is bonkers and b) it contradicts the explicit guidance on the government web page that describes how this stuff should work which states that it should be 14 days from the date of last contact, i.e. the 23rd.
So now the parents are talking about a "common sense" approach - deciding themselves how long to isolate for.
Total bloody shambles.
