ANOTHER case of Covid-19 has been confirmed at Lanesend Primary, in Cowes, leading to a second year group having to self-isolate.

Following two cases confirmed in Year Four over the weekend, a new case in Year Six has been identified today (Tuesday).

Working with Public Health England and the Department for Education, the school has informed its Year Six children and the staff team of the need to self-isolate.

In a statement, the school said: "We have today informed our families that we have another confirmed case of covid 19.

"We know that our year six children and families will be disappointed not to be in school for the rest of this Christmas week.

"We will endeavour to do as much as we can with them virtually and to continue to share the Christmas joy.

"We will provide a further update later today and we are here to talk through and support any concerns."
