Pupils at a Fife secondary school have been sent home following a power cut.

The rector of Kirkcaldy High School, Chris McKay, confirmed that the building lost power earlier on Tuesday. The school made the decision to send those not sitting exams home.

Pupils are due to sit their Nat 4 English and Advanced Higher English exams today. Power has been restored to the site and the tests are going ahead as scheduled.

The rector said: “We experienced a power cut earlier today and pupils, apart from those sitting exams, were sent home.

“Power has been restored and all exams are going ahead as planned.”
