It follows a number of positive cases in the school over the past week, with year seven pupils already isolating after a positive case in their year group and the same for year nine, who had two positive cases. Pupils who were on the B2 Afon Village Bus on Friday, November 13 are also self-isolating following a positive case.
The school remains open to pupils who do not fit the above criteria.
If anyone in your household begins to show symptoms of coronavirus – new, persistent cough, loss of taste or smell or a high temperature, you should isolate and book a test. This can be done by calling 119 or visiting the NHS website.
