Emma Wilson-Downes, headteacher at Felixstowe School, said: “We can confirm that the school has had a positive test for Covid-19 amongst the student body.
“The student had not been in school since September 18 and, as a result, Public Health England has advised us that we do not need to take any further steps.
“The student has now made a full recovery and has returned to school. “We would like to thank all staff, students and our community who have been so supportive of Felixstowe School since the start of the new school year.”
