AN Ilford primary school is set to reopen tomorrow, after being closed due to a burst water pipe.

Christchurch Primary will be open to pupils but the nursery will remain closed for the rest of the week.

The council has apologised for any inconvenience caused.

Thousands of pupils missed school last week as severe weather and sub-zero temperatures forced schools around the borough to close.

Most schools have now reopened as temperatures rise but more snow has been predicted by the BBC for this week.
