A headteacher has said his high school will be back open on Thursday after it was forced to close following a ‘major power cut’ which damaged many of the schools systems. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Pupils at Flint High School were sent home on Tuesday after a power cut meant fire alarms, communications systems and canteen equipment were left ‘inoperative.’ ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

On Tuesday, Flint High School head teacher Mr Jim Connelly posted an update on social media, he said: ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Due to a major power cut rendering fire alarm, canteen and all electrical systems inoperative, flint high has had to close. We expect normal service to resume tomorrow.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

However the school remained closed today, Mr Connelly said: “It is with regret that I announce that FHS must remain CLOSED to pupils today. (Wed 6/10).” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“The electrical issues damaged many of our systems that we simply cannot safely open the building as many of our communication (and learning) systems are still not working.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

This afternoon the school head confirmed “some systems now restored. School will be open tomorrow for all years.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
