An entire year group at a Swansea comprehensive school has been told to self-isolate after a pupil tested positive for Covid.
The positive test of a pupil at Bishopston Comprehensive on Gower means 231 Year 10 pupils have been told to remain at home where they will be taught remotely.
They will be allowed to return to the school on Monday, June 28.

The school is the second in Swansea to tell pupils to self-isolate over the past week. Welsh medium YG Gwyr, in Gowerton, last week told almost 200 pupils to remain at home after a positive result from lateral flow tests which pupils undertake twice a week.
On that occasion, a subsequent laboratory test discovered the result was in fact negative, and pupils, who were expecting to isolate for ten days, were told they could in fact return to school this week.
In April, Year 8 Gwyr pupils were asked to self-isolate following a positive test, as well as all those pupils who travel to the school on one particular bus service. The action was taken just days after youngsters were allowed to return following a four-month lay-off due to the serious state of the pandemic prior to that time.
And in December, before the four month lay-off, three year groups - 8, 9 and 11 - were told to self-isolate after a single pupil tested positive.
That followed a similar instruction in October affecting around 200 pupils in the Year 8, and a further 60 pupils who travel to the school on the same bus as the infected individual travelled on.
