Staff at Papdale Primary School have thanked parents for their patience after part of their playground flooded, today, Monday.

“Thanks to all the parents for their patience and understanding responding at short notice to the changes to pick up arrangements today,” a spokesperson said on the school’s Facebook page.

“Hopefully the waterfall will have gone by the morning.”

Although the exact cause of the build up has yet to be identified, the school is just one of several areas in Kirkwall that have reported an excess of water, following sudden thaw of ice and snow.
