A statement on the Grange Community website said: “We have just discovered that we have no water at school - the reason unknown as yet.

“As a result, school will not be able to be in session today.

St John’s also has “no running water”, according to Oxfordshire County Council’s website.

Five Acres Primary School in Ambrosden, a village near Bicester, has partly shut today after a double boiler failure.

Reception and Key Stage 1 are closed while nursery and Key Stage 2 remain open, the council’s website said.
