Yavneh College in Hertfordshire has instituted additional anti-Covid measures owing to rising levels of infection in the school.
The number of cases led the school formally to declare an “outbreak”, executive headteacher Spencer Lewis told parents last week.
“We are seeing the highest case numbers currently in Year 7, however we currently have active cases in all year groups,” he said.
“Due to the number of cases, we have reached the outbreak threshold and therefore we must put in additional mitigation measures such as no assemblies for year 7 and designated seating for year 7 during lunchtime.”
