A secondary school has confirmed its plans for tomorrow after a “major water leak” meant it could not open today.

Yesterday (November 17), Rickmansworth School announced that it would be closed on Monday due to “unforeseen circumstances”, which were later revealed to be a leak in the central heating system.

This afternoon, the Scots Hill secondary school shared an update letting families know it would be open as normal tomorrow.

“Good news,” the message said. “We are delighted to confirm the school will be open tomorrow as usual.”

It thanked parents for their support and said further details would be provided to them via email.

Leaders have been working with external contractors today to resolve the issue, after health and safety concerns forced the closure to protect students and staff.

The initial closure announcement, shared via Facebook and X(formerly Twitter) yesterday afternoon said: “The school will be closed tomorrow due to unforeseen circumstances.

“Parents, please check your email today and tomorrow for further updates and information.

“Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
