Some children have been sent home from a Telford primary school until next month after a member of staff tested positive for coronavirus.
Pupils in the Base 11 class at Hollinswood Primary & Nursery in central Telford were told to isolate at home until October 1 after a test returned positive.
A letter home to families said: "On Friday evening we were informed that a member of staff in Base 11... tested positive for Covid-19.
"Parents were contacted directly yesterday with the instruction that their children must self-isolate until October 1.
