Rossett School confirms Covid case
Rossett School in Harrogate has confirmed one of its sixth form students has tested positive for coronavirus.
The year 12 student will now isolate at home for 14 days. A further 30 year 12 students have been identified as being in close, prolonged contact with the student and have also been asked to isolate.
The school said its sixth form centre has had a "deep enhanced" clean after being identified as the only area used by the student concerned.
The school added all other pupils could return to school.
Parents and guardians received a letter from the school this weekend to remind them of the protocol if a child develops symptoms.
Helen Woodcock, the headteacher, said:
Ms Woodcock added staff training and school hygiene rules were also in place to help prevent the spread of the virus.
Yesterday, a further 11 cases of Covid were reported in the Harrogate district.
