Two more cases of the deadly bacteria infection which killed a six-year-old girl have been confirmed in a neighbouring primary school.

An unnamed pupil at Ashford Church of England Primary School died and another was taken to hospital following an outbreak of Strep A last week.

The UK Health Security Agency has now been notified of cases of Strep A in Year 1 and Year 6 at nearby Echelford School - while a third pupil has closely-related condition Scarlet Fever.

The health body had offered pupils and staff antibiotics following the death in Ashford, where the child died after contracting the bug.
