Maldon's Lower Plume School has been closed today after a water pipe burst mid-morning.
Parents have been asked to collect their children from the Mill Road campus immediately as part of "standard procedure" or assign another adult to collect them, as the school does not have any running water.
Children will not be allowed to walk home.
If children are unable to be collected, they will be moved to the Fambridge Road campus for the rest of the day.
Parents were notified by the school's mailing system earlier today.
