A NEW case of Covid-19 has been confirmed at Lanesend Primary School.

Working closely with Public Health England and the Department for Education, the Cowes school has informed the children and staff who will need to self-isolate.

The learning for children affected will continue remotely.

A spokesperson for the school said: "We have today informed our families that we have a confirmed case of Covid-19.

"It is very sad that this has happened at this time, as we were so hopeful we would not be impacted further.

"The rest of the school will continue to reopen fully tomorrow as planned.

"As always, we are here to talk through and support any concerns children or families may have."
