“Pupils and staff identified as close contacts of the confirmed case have been informed and are now self-isolating for 14 days in line with national guidance.
“This advice relates only to the Year 4 cohort at the current time.”
They added: “The school remains open and it is not necessary for any other child to self-isolate, stay away from school or to be tested, unless they are advised to do so by the TTP team or if they develop symptoms of Covid-19.
“Parents are encouraged to remain calm but vigilant and not send their child to school if they are unwell.
