West Lakes Academy in Egremont have confirmed that another sixth form student has been infected with Covid-19. This is the second student to be affected.
In an email to parents, Principal James Jackson said: "Immediately following the notification of the test result, we have asked all close contacts of the affected student to remain at home and self-isolate for 14 days.
"If you have not been contacted by the academy or NHS Test and Trace, this means your child did not come into close contact with the student and can therefore attend the academy as normal. We also continue to be in touch with the local Public Health body and continue to follow the latest guidance.
"We wish the student concerned a safe and speedy recovery."
