Third member of staff at Milton Keynes school tests positive for Covid-19

The member of staff from Long Meadow School, in Shenley Brook End, was confirmed to have tested positive at the end of last week and is now self-isolating, according to the school.

A Milton Keynes Council spokesperson said the person's role is non-teaching and they have had no recent contact with pupils.

This news comes after two members of staff at the school, who are also self-isolating, tested positive days before children returned to school from their summer holidays on Monday, September 7.
