Latest list of Lincolnshire schools with COVID-19 cases

A further four Lincolnshire schools have positive cases of coronavirus on Thursday.

Lincolnshire County Council said on Thursday, November 12 that it is working with 77 schools and nine nurseries with COVID-19 infections.

Fleet Wood Lane Primary School in Spalding and Colsterworth Primary School are the latest additions to the list.

In addition, two schools that are not yet on the council’s list, also have positive cases of coronavirus.

Mr Lidbury, who is the headteacher at Kidgate Primary Academy in Louth, confirmed to The Lincolnite that the school has one case of a pupil in Year 1, which was reported over the weekend.

The year group bubble has been closed since Monday, November 9 and is expected to return on Thursday, November 19.

William Lovell CofE Academy in Stickney said on Wednesday that it had received confirmation of its first positive test for COVID-19, but that due to it being outside of business hours it would contact Public Health England on Thursday morning “for direction regarding students requiring to isolate”.

As a precautionary measure, the headteacher decided that the entire of Year 11 and all students on the Dickinson’s Double Decker bus had to self-isolate on Thursday, November 12.

Meanwhile, the Lincolnshire schools currently listed as closed are King Edward VI Grammar (Louth), St Lawrence School (Horncastle), Holton Le Clay Pre-School and Newton on Trent Primary School (Lincoln).

St Margaret Primary School in Withern has been removed from the list as it is no longer an active case with Public Health England.

Andy Fox, consultant in public health, said: “As of this Thursday, Lincolnshire’s Health Protection Team is currently working with 77 schools that have had confirmed cases of coronavirus.

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

“The majority of schools remain fully open, and those affected are working really well to limit both the risk of the virus spreading and the impact on the pupils’ education.”
