Two schools have had to close this morning because of heating and electrical problems.

All Saints Junior School, in Githa Road, Hastings, will be closed for two days while its central heating system is fixed while Durrington Middle School, in Salvington Road, Worthing, has also been forced to close this morning because of a power cut.

Headteacher Cecy Kemp said the school has had problems with its heating system for the last four weeks and had been using a back-up system, until it stopped working yesterday.

She said: "It's due to be repaired tomorrow and hopefully we'll be reopen on Friday."

Parents can contact the schools for more details.
