Four schools in Bristol have confirmed cases of Covid-19.

The schools have asked students and teaching staff who have come into close contact with the infected pupils to self-isolate at home for 14 days, Bristol City Council said.

The affected schools are:

Compass Point Primary School – one confirmed case – 29 children and three staff self-isolating.

Clifton College – one confirmed case, 35 pupils self-isolating.

The council said it was working with the schools and PHE to make sure that all students, families and school staff are supported.

Christina Gray, Bristol City Council’s Director of Public Health said: “Please be reassured that while this is disruptive for children at the affected schools, the number of cases is still very small number compared to the thousands of children attending schools across the city."
