PUPILS at one of the borough's schools will have to wait a few more days until school resumes, as the severe winter weather causes more disruption.

Christchurch Primary School and Nursery, in Wellesley Road, Ilford, has been forced to close today and tomorrow (January 11 and 12) due to a burst water main.

The school and Redbridge Council apologised for the inconvenience and advised parents to keep checking the school's website for updates over the next few days.

Last week, dozens of schools across the borough closed for up to three day as the icy conditions and heavy snow made access impossible for some pupils and teachers, creating a childcare headache for thousands of families.
