Primary school closes after staff test positive for Covid-19

A primary school in Bridgend county borough has closed temporarily after a member of staff tested positive for Covid-19.

Croesty Primary School in Pencoed has been closed today and will be closed for at least the first part of next week due to several staff having to self-isolate.

With several staff self-isolating it unfortunately means there are not enough members of staff to keep the school open.

The school has informed parents and carers of the situation, and teachers at the school have set out work for the children to access digitally while at home.

The school will reopen as soon as it can.
