The school has decided to close the school to this year group due to not having the time to 'track and trace and contact those students who may have been in close contact." 

Headteacher Mr Matthews said: "As a precaution and to limit the potential of close contacts attending school, we will be CLOSED to all Year 10 students tomorrow. 

"During the course of the day, we will track and contact those who need to isolate and will reopen to all other students on Monday. 

"If you are not contacted, please attend on Monday as usual. Other year groups are not affected."
