“A full risk assessment will be undertaken before the school is allowed to reopen to staff and pupils.

“As a precaution we are looking at alternative accommodation if the repairs take some time.”

Parents, staff and governors are being given a progress update on the situation every afternoon.

Meanwhile, the school has placed a comprehensive list of activities and learning opportunities on their website for pupils to undertake with their parents as home-learning.
