All of the academy’s 1,200 pupils have been sent home for the day, with school transport to collect ones that are bussed at 10.20am. An Aberdeenshire Council spokesman said: “Engineers are currently on site working to fix.” Peterhead Academy‘s building – which is located in the Buchan’s Prince Street – was opened in 1846.
