A member of the “school community” at a Cambridgeshire community college has tested positive for Covid-19, the headteacher has revealed.
Executive principal of Cromwell Community College, Jane Horn, sent a letter to parents and carers today, making them aware of a coronavirus case.
The school in Chatteris remains open and students are being urged to continue to attend unless they begin feeling unwell or develop virus symptoms.
Ms Horn said: “We have been made aware of a member of our school community who has tested positive for Covid-19.
