An entire year group at a Holywood grammar school have been told to self-isolate during Christmas after an outbreak of Covid-19.
The news was broken to the 146 pupils in Year 13 at Sullivan Upper School after 11 Covid-19 cases were confirmed in the year group.
The details were outlined to parents in letter written by the school's principal Chris Peel.
He wrote that he anticipated more positive cases to come.
Mr Peel said that close-contact tracing carried out by the school over the weekend and Monday "led to a situation where PHA (Public Health Agency) advice is that all Year 13 pupils should self-isolate from Friday 18 December 2020 up to including Monday 28 December 2020".
