Oliver’s Battery Primary Acts Fast
Two pupils at Oliver’s Battery Primary School have been sent home today. They travelled in a taxi with a confirmed coronavirus case. Both children must now self-isolate for 14 days as a precaution.
Parents Demand School Closures
Parents at the school have received a letter informing them of the situation. Many are now calling for all schools to shut down amid growing fears.
