It also said: "The school remains open and your child should continue to attend if they remain well."

As reported last week, some youngsters at Bridlington’s Quay Academy were sent home after a pupil in Year 3 tested positive for Covid-19.

A statement from the academy’s Principal, Caroline Broadhead, said: “In line with the Department for Education and Public Health England’s advice, all children and staff in the bubble affected are now self-isolating and return to school on September 28.2

And children in Year 4 of Filey Junior School were asked not to come in last Monday after a member of staff tested positive for the disease.
