Burton Borough, in Audley Avenue, had to shut its doors and cancel an open day with local year six pupils after staff found they had no water.

Teachers hope that the school will be reopened again tomorrow, but updates are expected to come throughout the day.

An email sent out to parents from the school said: "Regrettably due to unforeseen circumstances the school will be closed.

"School should be open tomorrow unless advised otherwise.

"Please refer to the school website and twitter throughout the day for further updates."
