Even more students at a Yorkshire Coast School where youngsters from five year groups were already self-isolating have been told to stay home.

All of Year 9 at Bridlington School are now off after a second pupil in that year group tested positive for coronavirus.

Fifty students in Year 9 had been asked to stay at home on Tuesday after a different pupil received a positive test.
