Aberdeen school forced shut by burst pipe

An Aberdeen school has been closed to all pupils this morning because of a burst pipe.

Youngsters were turned away from Gilcomstoun School on Skene Street because of the issue with the building.

Work is expected to take place today in order to allow the school to re-open again tomorrow.

A spokesman from Aberdeen City Council said: “Unfortunately, Gilcomstoun School has had to close to all pupils today due to a burst pipe.

“We hope this will be rectified as soon as possible so the school can open as normal tomorrow.”
