School closures: How to check if your school is closed today amid heavy snow
Many places across the UK have seen adverse weather recently, with freezing temperatures leading to hazardous driving conditions.
Unfortunately, the unsettled weather looks likely to continue.
Paul Gundersen, Met Office Chief Meteorologist, has said: ‘Cold air is continuing to push across the UK from the north and many areas have seen some snow, wintry conditions, and overnight frosts.’
‘National Severe Weather Warnings have been issued across parts of western England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland with more warnings likely to be issued over the coming days.’
One of the biggest impacts bad weather can have is school closures, with parents having to make alternative plans at the last minute.
So, how do you go about checking if your child’s school is closed today?
Here is everything you need to know.
How to check if your school is closed today
The easiest way to check for school closures is by searching for your local authority website, but your school’s own website and social media may also be able to give you up-to-the-minute information.
