Three more Lincolnshire schools with coronavirus cases on Monday

County council working with 142 schools

A further three schools have positive cases of coronavirus on Monday. The county council said on November 30 that it is working with 142 schools with COVID-19 infections.

Mrs Mary King’s Primary School in Martin is the latest school to be added and is currently listed as closed. Two schools, which are not yet on the council’s list, have also confirmed cases.

Mr Nichols, who is the Headteacher at Sir Francis Hill Community Primary School in Lincoln, said: “We can confirm that the school is open as normal. This is a single case, our first case so far.

“We can confirm the pupil is in one of our Reception classes. That class is now isolating. We are following all guidance from the Health Protection Team in Lincolnshire.”

Skegness Junior Academy also confirmed a case of COVID-19 within its school and said it acted immediately and worked closely alongside Public Health England and the local health authority “to ensure the necessary steps and precautions were taken”.

A spokesperson for the academy said: “As a result, one of our bubbles is now self-isolating as a precautionary measure. Our contact tracing and robust health, safety and hygiene measures, including our bubble system, together with our close partnership with the relevant authorities, have allowed us to effectively respond to this case and ensure the school continues to be safe for all other pupils and staff.”

Meanwhile, The John Fielding School in Boston was already on the list, but is now listed as closed.

John Spendluffe Technology College in Alford remains on the list, but is now listed as open.

The schools currently listed as closed are Alford Primary School, Holton Le Clay Pre-School, South View Community Primary School (Crowland), Newton on Trent Primary School (Lincoln), Greenfields Academy (Grantham), Harlaxton Primary School (Grantham), The John Fielding School (Boston), and Mrs Mary King’s Primary School (Martin).

The county council also confirmed that no schools have been removed from the list since Friday’s update.

Andy Fox, consultant in public health, said: “As of this Monday, Lincolnshire’s Health Protection Team is currently working with 142 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.”
