Thetford Grammar School is set to close its doors

A historic private school in Norfolk is set to shut after hundreds of years. 

Thetford Grammar School says financial pressures have become unsustainable.

It blames rising costs, including VAT, on fees and lower pupil numbers.

The school dates back to the 7th century.

The government says ending tax breaks for private schools will help fund state education.
