A primary school in Staffordshire has been forced to shut following a coronavirus outbreak - just a week after pupils returned to face-to-face lessons.

Tittensor First School has announced the closure following discussions with Staffordshire's local outbreak team.

The Beechcliff Lane school had initially decided to shut just class two after a member of staff tested positive for coronavirus - but that has now been extended to the entire school.

Pupils have been urged to get a Covid-19 test as soon as possible.

The school will reopen on Tuesday 23rd March.
