- Some schools have decided to shut their doors for the day due to cold snap
- Check whether your child’s school is closed in the full list below
Schools are shutting across the UK as an Arctic blast batters Britain, with more snow and ice on the way today.
The treacherous winter conditions mean some schools have decided to shut their doors for the day with children set to work remotely as the cold snap continues.
A number of national severe warnings for snow and ice were issued, with the Met Office saying further warnings, or updates to the current warnings, are ‘very likely’.
An amber warning will come into force for parts of the country later today, including in the Pennines which could be hit by as much as 40cm of snow.
