A BRADFORD school has been forced to close its doors today due to a staff shortage.

Many employees at Lister Primary are currently celebrating Eid or isolating due to Covid.

On the Bradford Council website it noted Lister Primary is closed because of a 'staff shortage due to Eid Observance and staff isolating due to Covid-19'.

Meanwhile, Cottingley Village Primary School is still partially closed to a number of children.

Their nursery is moving to remote learning all week. This is to support the capacity of keeping the school open due to the number of staff who are having to isolate.
