Second Sixth Form student tests positive for COVID-19 after people attend 'party' in Milton Keynes

    It has been confirmed that there has been a second case of coronavirus at Ousedale School in Milton Keynes after students attended a 'party' in local woodland.

    Earlier this week MKFM confirmed that one Year 13 student had tested positive after attending a gathering in Olney a couple of weeks ago.

    All students who attended the 'party' were told to self-isolate for two weeks, which reportedly has left over 100 people from Year 10 and above having to take time off school. 

    And now parents have today (17/9) received an email stating that another Sixth Form student has the virus. Both students have been into the school, with the first student sitting with their tutor group for one hour, and the latest student being in school for one day on September 7th. 

    Sue Carbert, Headteacher, told parents: "To update you, we have today learned of a second Covid case.

    "The student concerned is part of the group currently self-isolating; the student attended school for one day on 7th September and is in the 6th form. Therefore, we have been advised that no further self-isolation or testing is required unless someone develops symptoms. 

    "The student concerned is not in the tutor group who are currently self-isolating." 

    In a separate incident, Stantonbury International School was forced to temporarily close on Monday (14/9) after one Year 8 pupil tested positive for coronavirus. 

    All Year 8 pupils were told to self-isolate, while the remainder of students returned to school the next day following a deep clean of the communal areas. Parents were then told yesterday (16/9) that a second case was in the school after a Year 7 pupil received a positive test result. Now, all students in Year 7 have to self-isolate too.
