A number of homes in Sandown and the Alverstone area have been hit by a power cut this morning (Friday).

Isle of Wight Radio understands The Bay CE Secondary school on The Fairway is also affected.

The school said:

"We have received the following information - 'SSEN are working to fix the power problem, however this will be at least 2 hours from now, with a further hour to reboot everything IT wise'.

"Therefore, we have made the decision due to the canteen/ food and safety of all of our staff and students to close the school."
