Stromness Academy foyer re-opens

The entrance foyer at Stromness Academy has been re-opened, so pupils at the secondary school should use the main entrance tomorrow, Tuesday.

The school was closed to pupils last Thursday, after a pane from the foyer’s glass roof shattered and fell to the ground on Wednesday afternoon, after the building had closed for the day.

Orkney Islands Council staff were immediately on site to assess the situation and the school was closed as a precaution.

It re-opened on Friday, with limited access to the foyer area while work to place a temporary safety net around the glass roof was carried out.
