Flood-hit Burnham-On-Sea Infants School will remain closed all
week
Burnham-On-Sea
Infants School will remain temporarily closed for the rest of
the week as it recovers from flooding over the weekend.
A
spokesperson for the school told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "Due
to the severity of the flood the school will remain closed for
the rest of this week and we will update parents on Friday."
 Water
gushed out of a faulty boiler system along corridors, leaving
2-3 inches of standing water throughout the building, as pictured
here.
Staff
at the school started a clean-up operation on Monday (May 21st)
in an attempt to open the school later this week but the clean
up operation is taking longer than first thought.
Headteacher
Janet Sadiq told Burnham-On-Sea.com on Monday: "It was quite
a shock to see the water everywhere this morning - it's not been
a good start to the week. Water
had been coming out of a pipe all weekend, causing flooding throughout
the building."
