Killinghall school closes after positive coronavirus case
Killinghall CE Primary School is set to close today after someone at the school tested positive for coronavirus.
The school, on Otley Road in Killinghall, sent a letter to parents this morning asking them to pick up their children at staggered times according to year groups, starting at noon.
The letter, written by headteacher Sarah Bassitt, said the school will open again tomorrow and all children are expected to attend unless they develop Covid symptoms.

The letter said the school, which has just over 100 pupils, had identified a "very small" number of staff who had "close contact" with the individual concerned. It says:
The Stray Ferret approached the school and North Yorkshire County Council for further information. The school declined to comment but the council has not yet responded.
