SCORES of children have been sent home from a Bournemouth primary school to self-isolate.

Most children from three classes at St Luke's in Winton have been asked to self-isolate after "an adult linked to the school" tested positive for coronavirus.

"St Luke's has followed Public Health England advice which has required the self-isolation of most children from three classes plus one member of staff" said a school spokesman.

"Those children are now engaged in remote learning opportunities. We are grateful for the support and understanding of our parents."
