In Hampshire, illness is the leading cause of all absence for pupils AND teachers.
What’s the leading cause of absence for pupils & teachers in your area?
📌 C19 spreads more easily than most other respiratory viruses & remains a consistent risk in all seasons.

Last week, the UK Covid Inquiry showed children weren’t seen as a priority to protect. The toll is heartbreaking - lives lost, health harmed, futures changed. Yet SARS-2 is just one of many airborne hazards children face in schools.

Indeed they are, Ian. Opening windows isn't always possible, or enough. The DfE know this and recommend air filters.
We’re working with James and @housefresh.bsky.social to find the best filters for classrooms. Here is a sample of the running costs.
