Those impacted should not return to school until Monday, December 7.
In a letter sent to parents, headteacher Jackie Jarrett said: "You are aware of all the measures we have put in place to minimise the risk of transmission of Covid-19.

Parents are asked to be on the lookout for coronavirus symptoms including a new continuous cough, a high temperature and a loss of taste and smell.
To reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus, people should:
- wash hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
- use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
- wash hands as soon as they get home
- cover their mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve (not their hands) when they cough or sneeze
- put used tissues in the bin immediately and washing hands afterwards
