She was last seen wearing her Shoreham Academy school uniform which consists of a blue blazer, blue skirt, light blue T-shirt and a black shoulder bag.

Police said Alice has links to the Crawley area.

PC Mark Green said: "We are growing increasingly concerned for Alice as her disappearance is out of character. We ask that if she sees this that she makes contact with a family member or police so we can check her welfare."

Anyone who sees Alice or knows of her whereabouts should contact police on 101 quoting serial 418 of 22/05. If she is in danger or need or urgent medical attention dial 999.
