The website compiles official government data and is updated weekly offering information about the Covid-19 rate in the locality of every school in England.
It has been launched by the National Education Union (NEU).
The NEU website shows the number of Covid-19 cases in a school’s surrounding area, the trend since last week (an increase or decrease in case numbers), whether or not the school is on a watchlist, and links to any local restrictions in place.
The website launch comes as NEU members prepare to debate a motion on Saturday (October 3) calling for more detailed contingency plans for potential local lockdowns, including clarity about the infection rate thresholds at which school closures could or should be triggered. For more on the NEU motion and the proposed infection thresholds, see our report here.
