A Norfolk school has closed today due to flooding.
Brooke Primary School has been forced to close after flooding returned to the school, near Poringland.
A message on the school website said: “We are absolutely devastated, and understand that parents are too, by the floods that have swamped our school again.”
It is not the first time it has been hit by floods, after problems in February.
Meanwhile, Sutton Infant School, near Stalham, is closed to a boiler failure, while Sir John Leman High School, in Beccles, is closed to Years 9 and 10 today and tomorrow due to boiler problems, with other year groups “advised to come in wrapped up extra warm”.

School's closed because of flooding ?. Fair enough. >>> I am surpised though there were no hysterical rantings from the poor, hard oppressed teachers, complaining they did not have a degree in cleaning their car windows, and could not get into work, so schools closed today

Get your act together County Council and get this school built properly. Why should local children suffer because of your inefficiency.
