A city school has announced it will be closed tomorrow making it the third to be affected in the space of two days across the county.

Orion Academy in Knights Road, Blackbird Leys, has a planned closure on Friday, November 15.

This is due to an electrical supply, as stated on Oxfordshire County Council's list of school closures.

The emergency closure is also announced on the special education needs school's website. 

It comes after Larkrise Primary School in Oxford's Boundary Brook Road was also closed today (Thursday, November 14). A reason for this closure has not been provided by the county council.

Wykham Park Academy in Banbury was hit with electrical supply issues as well today meaning pupils and staff could not attend.

It is understood the school will also be partially closed on Friday with only those in Years 7,8 and 9 able to attend.

Orion Academy was established in 2020 before moving into a new building in September 2021.
