A primary school and nursery in Aberdeenshire has been closed due to staff shortages related to Coronavirus protection measures.
Dunnottar School in Stonehaven is shut from Wednesday with parents being advised the closure will remain in place ‘indefinitely’.
Head teacher Lisa William said: ” In response to the critical staffing situation at Dunnottar School, the decision has been made to close the school to all indefinitely.
“I have taken this decision due to guidance for people who should now practice social distancing/self-isolation.”
Around 200 pupils attend the primary school.
