Deputy head teacher Amy Wake said the “difficult decision” to close was based on “precautionary advice”.
The affected pupil is in isolation with their immediate family. Others within the child’s “bubble” have been told to self-isolate.

In a letter to parents Ms Wake said she hoped to reopen the school, in Priestlands Road, on Wednesday once a deep clean had taken place.
