The 38-year-old mum of five, who lives in Crowborough, will return to the same court on May 8 for trial.

A hearing at Brighton and Hove Magistrates Court heard one of her children failed to attend school regularly enough between April and November last year.

Prosecutor Gareth Jones said the sporadic attendance dropped to 75 per cent.

The trial will hear detailed attendance records.
