A Leicester primary school forced to close for two days after thieves stole copper water pipes will reopen tomorrow.
A break-in at Parks Primary, in New Parks Crescent, was discovered on Monday by its premises officer, leaving the school with no running water.
Staff were forced to close the school to its 346 pupil for health and safety reasons until new pipes were installed.
A spokeswoman at the school confirmed on Tuesday that it would reopen as normal.
She said: "Thankfully new pipes are in and there are no leaks so we're opening on Wednesday and getting back to normal. It's a huge relief. Parents have been informed via text message."
The thieves broke in via the school's roof and water tank sometime between 4.45pm on Wednesday, May 28 and 9.30am on Saturday, during the half term period.
Leicester Police is investigating.
Anyone with information should contact police on 101.
