The school also moved to reassure parents the site is not dangerous, however it cannot open due to having no water or heating.
It said the children will learn remotely and apologised for the "inconvenience".
A Liverpool City Council spokesperson also confirmed the school remains closed.
In a statement on social media the school said: "Good afternoon everyone. Unfortunately, school will be closed until further notice as a gas leak was identified late this afternoon.
"The gas board has secured the school and are now working to resolve the issue.
"Although the site is not dangerous, we cannot open school due to having no hot water or heating.
"Your children will be educated remotely and teachers will be communicating via dojo.
"We will shortly be sending you a survey and if your child is eligible for free school meals (NOT universal free school meals) then please complete it ASAP so that we can make arrangements for a packed lunch to be collected from school during this closure.
"I am so sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause you and I will communicate with you as soon as I have any further news."
