TWO primary schools in Bradford have had to be closed to pupils today.

The first school which is shut, giving pupils, teachers and staff a long weekend, is Cavendish Primary School in Eccleshill, which is closed due to a hot water boiler failure.

The school has apologised for the inconvenience its closure has caused.

Also shut today is Lister Primary School in Manningham, which is closed due to a "technical issue".

It also apologised for causing any inconvenience and said it will be open as normal on Monday.
