St Mary’s Primary in Darlington closed over burst pipe
St Mary’s Cockerton CE Primary School, on Newton Lane in Cockerton, has been shut to pupils today (Thursday, March 26) following the incident overnight.
The burst pipe has caused a “significant flood” in the school, with the site saying it has had to turn off the water until the issue is resolved.
Darlington Borough Council confirmed the early closure in an email.
It is not yet known when the school will reopen, with parents told to expect updates soon.
It comes just three months after the school was forced to close due to a major plumbing issue that left the site without working toilets.
The school said: “Following a significant flood due to a burst pipe in school overnight, school will not be open today as we have had to turn the water off until we can resolve the issue.
“We will provide updates as soon as we can. Please pass this message on.
“Apologies for the inconvenience this will cause.”
