ONS have published the findings from the second round of the COVID-19 Schools Infection Survey (SIS) for England, which include:
-
Most schools surveyed report encountering either “some” or “major” challenges in implementing measures to control the spread of coronavirus during the Autumn term 2020.
-
Almost all primary schools surveyed reported implementing all 10 infection control measures recommended by the Department for Education, while most secondary schools (91%) reported implementing at least 12 of 15 recommended measures.
-
Measures to maintain distancing within bubbles, such as staff keeping two metres from students, were more likely to present “major” challenges for schools, particularly in primary schools.
