A spokesman for Bridgend County Borough Council said: "We can confirm that due to an outbreak of Covid-19, 14 staff and 31 pupils at Brackla Primary School are currently off. As a result three classes are currently closed.
"The school’s hoping to reopen the classes on December 7, staff permitting."
A parent told WalesOnline that they were given less than 24 hours' notice to ensure their children would be cared for during the closure.
The closure follows Bridgend council's decision to cancel Christmas lunches in all its schools saying there are not enough staff to run the traditional festive end-of-term meal.
Elsewhere a primary school teaching more than 100 children has been forced to close following a Covid outbreak among both staff and pupils.
Powys Council stated the school could not be "safely" opened due to the shortages.
