The Earls High School sent a letter to parents confirming the case.

It says: "Unfortunately we have just heard of a confirmed case of coronavirus in our school community and as a result there could be quite a number of contacts.

"As a precautionary measure, while we complete our contact tracing we will be sending students from Year 10 home today.

More Covid-19 coverage:

"We will then contact any parents by phone if their son or daughter needs to self-isolate and follow this with a letter.

"Once this is complete we will then make a decision on how school will be for next two weeks for Year 10 and I'll email again later this afternoon."
