Milton Keynes school confirms student tests positive for Covid-19

Shenley Brook End School has confirmed today (Friday, September 18) that one of its students, reportedly in Year 12, has tested positive for the virus.

A school spokesperson said: "We have been advised by the public health protection team that one of our students has tested positive for Covid-19.

"The school has followed its guidance and implemented its track and trace protocols, and identified and contacted students and families. A small group of students have been asked to go home and follow the correct procedures. Relevant classrooms have been locked and will be deep cleaned.

"We are continuing to monitor the situation and are working closely with the health protection team, which is satisfied the correct actions have been taken and that the school should remain open."

The spokesperson said surfaces in the building have been cleaned and protected using an 'innovative' cleaning system which provides long lasting surface protection, fighting the virus long after conventional cleaning products have stopped working.

According to the school, at the start of term it implemented a new timetable, a staggered day and new routines to limit movement around the building and to keep year groups separate.
