A child was flown to hospital with serious injuries after six children and a parent were hit by a car at a school.

The other five children and adult were taken to nearby hospitals, following the crash in the grounds of Ardingly College, West Sussex, on Monday.

A blue Tesla was involved in the collision and Sussex Police said it was investigating the "ongoing matter".

The eight-year-old boy remains in a serious but not life-threatening condition.

He was flown by air ambulance to St George's Hospital in London after the crash during a "holiday camp pick-up", head teacher Ben Figgis said.

The other six people received treatment for minor injuries.

The driver of the Tesla, a 47-year-old woman, was uninjured in the collision.

The seven people were injured on the North Quad, outside the 19th Century school building.

The crash happened within the school grounds

Supt James Collis, of Sussex Police, said: "I'd like to thank our emergency services partners and members of the public who assisted at the scene. Our thoughts are with those there yesterday and their families.

"The cause of the collision will form part of our investigation, and we ask people not to speculate at this time."

Police renewed their appeal for anybody who saw what happened or who has any other information, including dash cam or mobile phone footage, to get in touch.
