“All schools are taking action to limit the potential spread of the virus, with some pupils and staff self-isolating as a precaution.”

The King’s School in Grantham, The Holt Primary School in Skellingthorpe, Spalding High School, The Pilgrim School in Lincoln, Scampton Primary School and Ancaster Primary School have all been removed from the list as they are no longer active cases with Public Health England.
