Current weather conditions are worse than initial forecasts predicted.  However, our current advice to parents and carers is that children and staff are safest to remain in their schools. Plans are underway to make arrangements for the safe transportation home of pupils this afternoon as conditions improve, and as the roads are cleared by our Road Services workers.

We do not recommend that either staff or children should travel by vehicles at this point in time.

With the exceptions below, all schools are currently operating with teaching and learning underway.

A further update will be provided after 2 pm this afternoon.
