A BRADFORD high school was forced to close immediately on Friday morning.

Bradford Forster Academy, on Fenby Avenue, suffered a full closure at around 10am due to a water leak.

It meant the school had to shut off all water and send every student home.

Principal Cath Proud has apologised for the inconvenience caused.

At 10.51, a statement on Bradford Council's website read: "Unfortunately, due to a water leak this morning we have to shut off all water into the Academy.

"This means that we have to close the Academy immediately and send our students home.

"We apologise for any inconvenience."
