Headteacher, Darrell Wood told parents on Friday (January 12) engineers were due to fix the boilers over the weekend.

He said: "I am well aware of the inconvenience this will cause, but our priority is always the safety and welfare of pupils.

"We have looked at other options for heating the rooms and water, none of which are viable."
