“We have had some damage to our ceilings, in classrooms, the office and shared areas this week. As the snow has begun to thaw, one of the ceilings has now fully collapsed.

“Fortunately, this was not in a classroom and no one was injured. However, we have now been advised by Kirklees that all of our ceilings must be inspected tomorrow (Friday) to ensure the safety of children and staff.”
