A SCHOOL in Hampshire has closed due to a power failure.
Pupils who attend Wickham Church of England Primary School have got the day off after the power failure left them with no running water or electricity.
The school, in Buddens Road, Fareham, posted a message on their website warning parents that the school was closed today, but will be back open after the weekend.
The statement read: "Unfortunately, the school has no running water or electricity so we have been given no choice but to close today.
"We will send out a parentmail to give more information.
"We are very sorry for the inconvenience and look forward to welcoming the children back on Monday."
