Power cut forces CTC to close

THE CTC Kingshurst Academy sent students home today (Tuesday) after a major power cut left the kitchens unable to provide the children with food.
Only those Year 11 students who were due to sit a GCSE geography exam this afternoon were asked to remain on the site, with the Cooks Lane school saying it would make provision for the group.
The school notified parents via Facebook after admitting that its text system was unavailable because of the power failure.
A few hours ago, the CTC confirmed that it was back up-and-running and that the school would be open to all students as usual tomorrow.
