A student at Havering Colleges has tested positive for coronavirus.

The education provider has asked the relevant class and teachers at the Wingletye Lane sixth form campus to self-isolate as a precaution and the campus remains open.

It is understood the student is beyond the infectious period.

Principal Paul Wakeling said: “The Covid Response Unit confirmed that we had taken the necessary action.

“As a precaution we asked the students in the same class as the case, and the relevant teachers, to self-isolate.

“We continue to take appropriate measures to protect the safety of our students and staff and will always follow Government guidelines.”
