A school in North Herefordshire has been closed due to a shortage of staff.

Lady Hawkins' School in Kington was forced to close on Tuesday due to students from one household testing positive during a round of regular asymptomatic testing.

The school will remain closed tomorrow pending the results being confirmed by the more reliable PCR coronavirus tests, which are processed by a laboratory.

In a statement, the school said: "Due to staff shortages caused by self-isolation, we are currently unable to open."
