Face masks are once again compulsory in parts of Biddulph High School after 21 positive Covid cases were reported since the start of this academic year.
Pupils will once again have to wear masks in indoor areas at lunchtimes and break times after Staffordshire County Council asked the school to introduce new measures to curb the number of cases.
As well as the new face mask rules being implemented from today, other changes include holding certain events online or adapting others to make them more Covid safe.
The school's head teacher, Elizabeth Robinson said: "We know that you may find this concerning, but we are continuing to monitor the situation with the support of the local authority.
"Please be reassured that for most young people, coronavirus will be a mild illness.
"We will continue to review our risk assessment and outbreak management plan and adhere to the protective measures in place at school.
"These measures include hygiene and cleaning measures and keeping spaces well ventilated."
