Friday 16 December 2022

Beaulieu students have broken up for Christmas early today after a water pipe on the premises burst overnight forcing the school to close for the day.

Headmaster of the school Chris Beirne put out a tweet advising students to stay at home.

Today is the last day of term until the New Year.

He wrote: "Urgent notice to all Beaulieu students & parents – due to a major water pipe burst overnight on-site Jersey Water have had to turn all water off to the Beaulieu site which means a school closure day – if you have not set off for school stay at home."
