Lanesend Primary Students Self-Isolating After Confirmed COVID Case

Lanesend Primary School is without 25 of its pupils on what is the first day back for many.

They are self-isolating at home following a confirmed case of coronavirus.

The Isle of Wight Council has confirmed that a member of the school has tested positive for the illness.

A spokesperson said:

“Families and staff have all been informed. 25 children and three adults have been asked to remain at home, self-isolating until 14th March as a precautionary measure. 

"High-quality remote learning will be provided for the children throughout this time."

The school remains open for all other staff and students.

It is the first day back to school for many pupils today (Monday) as coronavirus restrictions are eased.
