Following a confirmed case of coronavirus at Stanborough School in Welwyn Garden City, all its Year 8 students have been told to self-isolate.
The group were told not to come into school today and will now all have to study from home until they can return on September 22 – 14 days after the confirmed case.
In a letter sent out to parents headteacher Merry John said: “I know that you may find this concerning, but I am continuing to monitor the situation and working closely with Public Health England.
“Please be reassured that for most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild illness.”
Speaking to this paper Mrs John added: “I feel very reassured with the support and guidance that I received from Public Health England.
