Students in Year 7, 9 and 11 at The Radcliffe School, in Wolverton, have been forced to study from home after each year group has had positive cases of Covid-19.

It is unknown exactly how many positive infections the school has, but it is at least minimum of three people. Milton Keynes Council has been contacted for the figures.

The school's website says Year 11 and 7 will return on November 25, and Year 9 will return on November 24.

Paula Lawson, the school's head teacher, said the school is acting in line with Public Health England's advice.

The government's guidance around Covid-19 in schools says that an outbreak can be defined if a school has 'two or more confirmed cases within 14 days'.
