Parents have this morning been informed that a positive case of COVID-19 has been confirmed at the Bishop of Hereford’s Bluecoat School in Hereford.

Parents of children that are in the same year group bubble, believed to be Year 10, have been contacted by email to explain that their children must now self-isolate. Parents were informed of the news after their children had arrived at school this morning and were asked in an email to collect them immediately.

The school has been in contact with Public Health England and will keep parents up to date with any important updates.
