Schools are being forced to close because of the burst water main at Heyford Hill in Oxford.
Currently on Oxfordshire County Council's website John Henry Newman Academy has reported that it has closed today as it has no water supply.
The school said it will update parents and carers as soon as possible with further details.
Rose Hill Primary School has posted on Facebook that is closed today because of a burst water main.

Meanwhile Oxford East MP Anneliese Dodds tweeted that she is asking Thames Water for urgent updates as many residents have no water and local schools are closed.
At the end of August the Sheriff of Oxford Barton & Sandhills councillor Mike Rowley and an 'urban mermaid' shared pictures of themselves swimming in a flooded footpath near Littlemore roundabout in protest at the time it was taking Thames Water to fix the leak.
The floodwater was so deep it became known as 'Littlemore Lake'.
Awful to see yet another water leak weeks after the #littlemoreleak - now at Heyford Hill. Water off for many residents and local schools closed.
