A school near Milton Keynes had to send home a whole year group because of one Covid-19 infection which created staff shortages

The Elizabeth Woodville School, in Deanshanger, sent a letter out to parents on Thursday, November 12, saying a Year 8 student at the south site had tested positive.

A number of people were affected and had to self-isolate, leading to the staff shortage and the sending home of the year group.

Those who were sent home on Thursday, but were not directly affected by the positive case, returned today (November 16).

Those who were directly affected continue to self-isolate.

The school is still open to those who are well.
