The Hazeley Academy, in Emperor Drive, sent out the warning letter to parents yesterday (Tuesday, September 22), which said it is now working closely with Public Health England.

Principal Tony Nelson, who signed the letter, said a 'small number' of children that came into contact with the infected person are now self-isolating for 14 days.

He said: "We are reassured to hear that the family impacted are all safe and recovering, self-isolating at home. When we face challenges of this nature we pull together as a community. As always, parents can expect regular updates from Hazeley and gratitude for the support of our community."
