A number of schools have been forced to close today following the weekend's wintry weather.

Snow and ice means many educational establishments in Kent will not be open to pupils who would otherwise have been expected to attend.

Vulnerable children and those whose parents are key workers have been able to remain in class while other pupils have been learning remotely during the latest lockdown.

The following secondary schools are closed to pupils today:

• Astor College for the Arts, Dover
• Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, Hythe
• Cornwallis Academy, Maidstone

• Dover Grammar School for Girls
• Folkestone School for Girls
• Harvey Grammar School, Folkestone
