NEW boilers are to be installed at Rise Park Primary School at a cost of £60,000.
Engineers looked to see if the existing boilers could be repaired, but because the parts cannot be easily found it was decided to replace them. The cash will come from the city council's health and safety emergency fund.
Paperwork produced to explain the move said: "If the boilers are not replaced, there is a risk that they will fail.
"This will mean that the school will not have hot water or heating and may have to close at short notice to ensure the health and safety of children and staff."
