Children were able to return to a Kenilworth primary school this afternoon following an emergency closure this morning (June 11).

St Nicholas Primary School had to shut its doors this morning as it was without gas and hot water.

But in an update to parents, the school confirmed pupils could return this afternoon and the school will be open as usual on Wednesday.

"Parents have been emailed and studybugs notified about reopening this afternoon," an update on the school website said.

"We look forward to seeing everyone as normal tomorrow morning.

"Apologies for the inconvenience caused."
