Shire Oak Academy sent a letter to parents yesterday which says there has been a confirmed case in the Year 11 bubble.

It comes after there was a positive case within the Year 13 bubble earlier this month.

The letter says: "We have been advised by Public Health England that there has been a confirmed case of Covid-19 within the Year 11 bubble.

"Parents of the students who we believe have had close contact with the student have been phoned this weekend.

"We may need to contact a small number of students on Monday morning following further checks."
