Two Bradford Primary Schools Closed Due to Safety Issues

Daily School Closure Report:

Two primary schools in the Bradford area are closed today due to urgent safety concerns, according to the latest updates from local education authorities.

Schools Affected

• Killinghall Primary School
• St Cuthbert & The First Martyrs’ Catholic Primary School

Reasons for Closure

Killinghall Primary School has been closed due to potential high carbon monoxide readings detected in one of its classrooms. As a precaution, the gas supply to the entire school has been turned off. The school has arranged for learning to continue remotely via the Seesaw platform. Unless further notice is given, the school is expected to reopen tomorrow.

St Cuthbert & The First Martyrs’ Catholic Primary School is also closed today following an overnight power cut combined with a burst water pipe that damaged an electrical circuit board. This has made the school premises unsafe for use at present.

Additional Information
