A Herefordshire school has been forced to close this lunchtime due to a potential gas leak.

The Aconbury Centre shared the following message on the Herefordshire Council school closures page a short time ago:

“The Aconbury Centre (HPRS) will be closed from 11:30 today due to a potential gas leak on the grounds.

“Engineers are on site but pupils have been sent home as a precaution.

“All parents and carers will be communicated with by the end of the day.”

We’ll have an update on whether the school can reopen tomorrow later.
