Secondary school closes after second power failure
A Bourne End secondary school was forced to close for the second time in a week today after a power failure.
Hundreds of schoolchildren were unable to attend Bourne End Academy this morning, with the school set to be closed all day.
A statement on the school's website says the site, in New Road, has suffered a "major" power failure this morning (October 21).
The electricity board is "working with the school to resolve".
