A Beeston school has been closed for four days due to a sewage pump system break. Banks Road Infant and Nursery School, in Banks Road, informed parents and carers that the school would close on Tuesday (January 31) due to the system failure which meant that pupils and staff would be unable to use any water or toilet facilities.
The school was closed at short notice for "obvious safety reasons". Headteacher Carole Clemens said that the fix has "taken longer than hoped".
The school remained closed for the rest of the week as repairs were carried out and a solution to the issue was sought. Mrs Clemens has since stated that the problem has been identified and the school will reopen on Monday (February 6).
