A PUPIL has tested positive for coronavirus at Lainesmead Primary School. 

Staff learned of the test result earlier today.

Headteacher Eirian Painter said: "We have taken the advice of Public Health England. They have advised us to close the Year 5 bubble, which we are doing.

"We phoned every parent individually to inform them and pupils are being picked up from the playground. We are following all the guidance."
