St Leonards Academy, in Edinburgh Road, St Leonards, is the latest education provider in Hastings and Rother to record a case in the past few weeks.

In a letter to parents, interim principal Hannah Carter said a small number of children who were in close contact with the individual who tested positive have been told to stay home for 14 days. She said those students would receive a second letter.

The school remains open and students not contacted about isolating should continue attending all the while they are feeling well, she said.
