Peterchurch Primary School has announced that it will be closed for the rest of the week following flooding on Wednesday morning.
An email sent to parents on Wednesday afternoon said:
“Thank you to everyone for your support and understanding with the school closure this morning.
“All staff and pupils have now got home safely.
“Unfortunately, due to the intense rainfall and substantial amount of water flowing from the fields into school, parts of our school building has flooded.
“On advice from the Local Authority and after surveying the damage, we will be closed for the next 2 days in order to keep pupils and staff safe and to make repairs to the affected areas.
“We will be working tirelessly over the next few days to find a solution to ensure that we can get back to normal as soon as possible, and we will keep you all updated when we can.
“Teachers will upload work for the children to complete via class Dojo, and please message us if you have any concerns or worries.
“A BIG thank you to Peterchurch Fire service and all the staff who stayed and looked after the children, even the bus of Fairfield children who were stuck.
“We are surrounded by a wonderful community and everyone’s help is appreciated.”
