There are reports that a Devon school has closed today following a potential case of coronavirus.

Churston Ferrers Grammar School in Brixham says on its website that it is closed today.

An email from headteacher Kieran Earley has been sent to parents saying: "Following a call late last night from Public Health England with regard to a potential case of COVID-19 at Churston, we are letting you know that the school will be closed for all staff and students today as a precautionary measure.

"You will, of course, have many questions and we will be posting updates during the day via the website and our In-touch communication system.

"We understand that this will be hugely inconvenient but once again, I must urge you not to start your travel plans this morning."

Devon Live has contacted the school and Public Health England for more information.
