Current advice, according to the letter, is that Year Three, Year Four and Year Five are safe to attend today (Monday, September 21).
The headteacher said: "With help from Public Health England and Milton Keynes Council, we continue to monitor this fast-moving situation carefully and to ensure that we have appropriate measures in place to reduce transmission.
"We are so disappointed for your families that we have had to take these measures at a time when some normality was returning for our pupils. However, we all have a duty to follow the guidance and reduce transmission of the Covid-19 in the community."
