An Aldingbourne Primary School teacher charged with unauthorised computer access is now due to stand trial in February next year.

The case at Portsmouth Crown Court has been adjourned until February 17.

Police have emphasised there is no risk to the safety of school staff, pupils or parents, and there is no evidence personal data has been externally compromised.
