A Southampton primary school was closed today after part of the ceiling collapsed.

Most pupils at Kanes Hill Primary School were told not to turn up for lessons this morning.

It comes after staff arrived for work to discover part of the ceiling in a corridor had fallen down.

The school in Hinkler Road, Thornhill, has 385 pupils aged four to 11 years old.

Despite the incident education bosses still asked all pupils in year six to turn up this morning as they were due to sit their SAT examinations.
