This list covers schools under the remit of Hampshire County Council as well as new cases that the Daily Echo has been made aware of.

Independent schools have not been included.

Daily Echo:

One school in the county has recorded a further two positive cases after students tested positive just a few weeks ago.

Applemore College in Dibden Purlieu wrote to parents on November 27 to report that two members of the school community tested positive for the virus.

The first coronavirus case at the school was recorded on November 15.

The two students were both from different year groups and a "small" number of children who have been in close contact have been told to self-isolate.

Mr Alan Chipping, headteacher, said in a letter to parents: "We know that you may find this concerning but we are continuing to monitor the situation and are working closely with Public Health England.

"This letter is to inform you of the current situation and provide advice on how to support your child. Please be reassured that for most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild illness.

"The small number of children who have been in close contact with the individual who has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) have received a letter informing them that their child must stay at home for 14 days.

"The school remains open and your child should continue to attend as normal if they remain well."
