Children at primary isolating

A “SMALL number” of children have been advised to isolate after a confirmed Covid case at a school.

Rebecca Dulieu, head teacher at Saint Mary’s Fields Primary, in Rowley Fields, sent a letter to parents on Monday.

She said: “The small number of children who have been in close contact with the individual who has tested positive for coronavirus have received a letter informing them their child must stay at home for 10 days.

“The school remains open to children of key workers and vulnerable children and your child should continue to attend as normal if they remain well and are currently attending.”
