Part of West Sussex school closes after ceiling collapse

In a number of posts on its Facebook page, Oak Grove College, in the Boulevard in Worthing, warned pupils from Koa, 6th form and Koa 6th form to stay away from the school after 'a portion of the ceiling collapsing in this area'.

The post said it was important staff still come in, with a view to reopening the damaged part of the college tomorrow.

Students from Marvel, Da Vinci, Animus and Avatar classes were still able to attend school.

According to one of the posts, there was some confusion around which pupils were required to stay away.

It said: ‘Transport have tried to do the right thing unfortunately this has resulted in some students being taken home who we were expecting in. This was due to the lateness of the incident occurring.

‘We apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused. An update for tomorrow will follow later once we are sure that the building is safe.’

Our sister paper the Worthing Herald has contacted the school for more information.
