A PRIMARY school is to close early for summer to allow building work to get off the ground.
Fir Ends Primary School, in Smithfield, between Brampton and Longtown, will be shut from 12.30pm today and will not reopen until pupils return in September.
The early closure is to allow workmen extra preparation time ahead of building works taking place over the summer holidays.
