A secondary school has had to send two year groups home after two positive Covid-19 cases.
The Wye School, based in Wye near Ashford , confirmed yesterday that positive cases had been confirmed in Year 11 and Year 13.
It comes just weeks after the school experienced a similar situation , where its entire Sixth Form had to study from home after a positive test.
National statistics have revealed that 21% of secondary schools are not fully open due to Covid-19.
In most cases this is due to bubbles being told to isolate, and currently this figure is getting worse every week.
Already a large number of Kent schools have been affected .
No general visitors are currently allowed in Wye school at the moment, and its website directs parents towards the Department for Education coronavirus helpline.
It can be accessed at 0800 046 8687 every weekday between 8am and 6pm.
