Children in Hastings and Rother will not be able to return to school until at least January 18, due to high rates of coronavirus.
According to Sky News, more than 500,000 pupils in England face a delay in returning to primary schools.
A 'contingency framework' is to be implemented in areas with high rates of incidence or transmission of the virus.
