A clean up operation is under way at a Bath school after the roof of its brand new sixth form centre was partly ripped off during the storms.
The damage at Beechen Cliff School, in Alexandra Park, happened on Monday night and a team is now on site trying to deal with the situation and make the building watertight.
Assistant head teacher Kant Mann said the new sixth form centre, which has been open for around two months, had two parts to its roof and only one part of it had been affected.
He said: "One section has fallen victim to the weather and has peeled back on itself. That part of the building is where the boarding accommodation is going to be, so it is empty at the moment.
"The sixth form part has been open for a few months and we were just doing some finishing touches to the boarding accommodation."
Mr Mann said that scaffolding had now been put up around the building and they were trying to work out how best to repair the damage.
"As our head Andrew Davies said earlier, one of the school's core values is resilience so we will carry on and get one with it," he said.
"We will have to see what the best way forward is for all parties involved."
Beechen Cliff School is an all-boys state school and last year announced plans to take on some boarding students.
The new sixth form development, which includes a science block, fitness suite and the boarding accommodation cost around £3 million.
