Being proactive before Christmas would have driven the numbers down prior to the risks of the 25th. With most schools not returning until at least 10 days later in any case.

Our head has been fighting with the LA to close the school for well over a week as more and more kids were sent home. She finally got her way on Thursday, but the school had to lose most of S4, 5 and 6 (and some of S1) before the cooncil relented. Our offspring were at home with their new chromebooks on Friday and for the rest of term. But it had to get really, really bad before this was allowed.
