A BRADFORD primary school has now been forced to close for the full day.

St Columba's Catholic Primary School, in Tong Street, Dudley Hill was forced to close temporarily due to several issues within the building.

Bradford Council's website announced the closure 7.38am today but an update at 8.44am said the school would now have to shut for the full day.

The issues were St Columba's having no gas, hot water, or heating.

The school hoped to fix this and open at 10am but the boiler cannot be repaired until this afternoon.

A statement from the school said: "We have no choice but to remain closed today.

"We are really sorry for the inconvenience this may cause."
