SCHOOLS in East Sussex have been rallying round to ensure their doors remain open for children who need support during the coronavirus outbreak.

While most youngsters have been told to stay at home, around 1,000 vulnerable children and children of key workers are continuing to attend classes at 140 county schools.

Many have joined forces with neighbouring schools, including Ringmer Primary and Nursery School (pictured above and left), which is hosting children from schools in Alfriston, Firle and Laughton.
