Hundreds of vulnerable youngsters and children of key workers are self-isolating due to cases of coronavirus in schools in this part of Dorset, as well as the Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole council area. Despite schools being closed to most pupils due to the lockdown, they must remain open for pupils in both categories.

The list gives the name of the school and the date that pupils went into the 14-day self-isolation period.
Schools affected are listed, followed by the dates that cases were recorded.
