School closed after heating packs up

Children at Henleaze Junior School have been told to stay home today because the school has no heating.

The problem arose following building work at the weekend to install a disabled access lift in the foyer of the school in Park Grove.

The heating system had to be drained to move a radiator and a leak was discovered.

The school had been closed to the 375 pupils yesterday for a training day but head teacher Adam Barber had to keep it shut for an extra day until heat was restored.
