King's Lynn student tests positive for Covid-19
They'd been isolating at home
St Clements High School in King's Lynn has been informed that a Year 10 student has tested positive for COVID-19 following a period of isolation at home.
Headteacher, Nigel Willingham has confirmed the student had been in isolation at home after a family member tested positive, and had not been in school since 19 October.
No students or members of staff have been told to isolate following this positive case because the student had already been isolating at home.
He said:
"The Department of Education and the Norfolk Outbreak Team have advised us that no further action is required at this time because the student had already been isolating, and that no student or member of staff needs to isolate.
"We understand parents might be worried but we want to assure them the measures we have taken to date are in line with government advice and guidelines, and we will continue to monitor the situation.
"St Clement's will reopen next week after the half term break for all year groups as previously planned, all students should continue to attend as normal if they remain well."
