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.

The Dorset Echo is providing a list of those who have pupils and/or staff affected by coronavirus in January and February.
