Schoolchildren from St Bartholomew's School in Newbury have been placed in self-isolation after returning from a ski trip to northern Italy.

Pupils are being kept isolated from school amid concerns of coronavirus.

Newbury Today reports that a letter was sent out to parents this morning, making them away of the situation. 

A spokesperson for the school told the site: "There are a number of pupils whose families have decided to isolate themselves having returned from their half term holidays in Northern Italy."
