States-run schools in Jersey will remain closed for a second day, ITV News understands.

Schools across the Channel Islands are closed today (Thursday 2 November) due to the impact of Storm Ciarán, with all islanders advised to stay indoors.  

Parents have been told that schools in Jersey will remain closed on Friday 3 November.

In Guernsey, the College of Further Education will be shut - after buildings on the site "received significant water damage as a result of pre-existing issues".

All other schools in Guernsey and Alderney will open as normal.

The latest update from Guernsey's Education department said: "With the exception of the College of FE, inspections carried out at all schools determined that they are all safe and suitable for re-opening".

Parents and carers are being advised to check their route before they travel, and allow for extra time when dropping off their children at schools.
