Staff members at Nuneaton school test positive for coronavirus

Three members of staff at The George Eliot School in Nuneaton have tested positive for Covid-19 and are now self-isolating.

A spokesperson for the Midland Academies Trust, which runs the Raveloe Drive school said: "We can confirm that three members of staff within the school community at George Eliot School have tested positive for COVID-19 and are now self-isolating at home.

"Parents have been notified for information but no changes are required to be made to teaching arrangements, and no bubbles have been closed, as staff have followed the strict measures in place around social distancing and no pupils have been identified as close contacts with those affected.

"Our first thoughts are with our colleagues and any family members affected and we trust that they will make a speedy recovery. Our duty of care to pupils and staff is paramount. We have followed government guidance at all times throughout the pandemic and this action has minimised the risk to pupils and other staff at George Eliot School."
