Worthing and Upper Beeding primary schools record positive coronavirus cases

Whytemead Primary School, in Dominion Road, Worthing, sent an email out to all affected parents giving Public Health England guidance following a positive coronavirus case.

Some pupils and staff have been forced to self-isolate, although it is unclear how many have been affected and when the case or cases were reported.

Upper Beeding Primary School, in School Road, has also told a 'small number' of pupils to self-isolate in a letter to parents, dated Friday, November 6.

The impacted group must self-isolate until November 17, the letter said, after coming into contact with the individual.

The school was working closely with Public Health England to monitor the situation, the letter added.

Again, it is unclear how many staff and pupils have been affected.

Upper Beeding Primary School has been contacted for comment.

Whytemead Primary School declined to comment.
