Torrential downpours swept across Flintshire on Sunday causing flash flooding on some roads in the region. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

A number of classrooms and the school hall were flooded, the Troi Rownd unit which also shares the Queensferry Campus building was also affected. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The schools head, Mrs Cathryn Lloyd had hoped to get the school back open on Wednesday but it will remain closed while all health & safety checks take place. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

In a letter to parents today, Tuesday, May 18, Mrs Cathryn Lloyd said: “Just to update you today on the situation with the flooding in school.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Unfortunately, school will have to remain closed tomorrow Wednesday, May 19 in order that all the necessary health & safety checks are completed to ensure a safe re-opening.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“I am confident that we will be open to all year groups on Thursday but there will be no breakfast club for the remainder of the week and possibly next week as a section of the school will have to remain out of action.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“In addition can confirm that there will be no hot school meal provision until at least half term but packed lunches will be available.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Once again, I can only sincerely apologise for the disruption this is causing.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
