Snow closes dozens of schools

Dozens of schools in West Norfolk and neighbouring districts will be fully closed today because of snow.

The moves follow forecasts of further wintry weather in the coming hours and warnings from police not to venture out unless absolutely necessary.

Schools are already open only to vulnerable pupils and the children of key workers during the current coronavirus lockdown.

But, in many areas, officials say travelling conditions are too treacherous while some argue the requirement for windows to be kept open for Covid ventilation will make schools unacceptably cold.
