Parents have been warned about their children's safety after a young child died and another is being treated in hospital following a rare bacteria outbreak in a primary school.

The child who died is understood to be a six-year-old who attended Ashford Church of England Primary School in Surrey, who tragically died from the invasive Group A streptococcal (iGAS) infection, which leads to Scarlet Fever

At the same time, health officials confirmed there was an outbreak of Scarlet Fever at Annanhill Primary School in Kilmarnock following a rise in cases across Scotland.

There has also been an increase in cases of the Victorian-era disease in Sheffield, as health experts warned residents last week to stop the disease from spreading.

The other child affected also attended the school in Surrey and is believed to be recovering in hospital. Staff and pupils have been given antibiotics by specialists from the UK Health Security Agency. 

A third child from the same area of Ashford was also said to be suffering from Scarlet Fever, often caused by Strep Throat.

Letters advising of the Year 1 pupil's death were emailed to parents of the CoE school.
