'We've had parents in tears wanting to take their other children home' - head reveals impact of covid cases at primary school

reported 15 yesterday and there have been many more today - questions have been raised over why school bubbles are so big.But Mr Wheeldon said at his school, like most other primaries, it would be 'logistically and physically impossible' to separate the children into more bubbles.He said: "We have had to put Year 3 and Year 4 in one bubble and that's up to 180 children for both year groups."When we set them up over the holidays it was a case of what staff have we got, as all of a sudden staff who would previously have worked over four or five year groups can only work in the one bubble."A lot of primaries have put two years together as we simply don't have the staff to do it less than that.
