A school in Telford has had to close due to a power failure.

Hadley Learning Community was trying to make arrangements for thousands of pupils to get home safely this afternoon.

The power cut has also affected The Bridge School on the same site.

Telford & Wrekin Council spokesman Russell Griffin said: "Both Hadley Learning Community's secondary and primary phases and the Bridge School have all had to close as a result of a power failure, resulting in no heating or water in the building.

"Engineers are on site and we expect the problem to be rectified this afternoon and all three schools to reopen in the morning as normal.

"ABC Nursery – which is in a separate wing of the same building – is not affected and remains open."
