Derbyshire school forced to shut due to lack of water

Stonebroom Primary and Nursery School, in Alfreton, said the emergency closure was due to issues with its water supply.

In a statement to parents, the school added that it planned to reopen to all pupils for lunch at 11:40am.

A similar incident happened at Stonebroom Primary in November last year when it was forced to close to staff and pupils after it was discovered there was no water and heating.
