80 schools in Flintshire closed today due to weather
This article is old - Published: Sunday, Dec 10th, 2017
Monday morning’s forecast has temperatures dropping to -4C at 7am and staying under -2C through to 9am.
No snowfall is predicted today, however there is a yellow warning for ice due to the obviously poor conditions.
80 schools in Flintshire are closed today due to the weather, citing safety of children, parents and staff – and that they aim to reopen on Tuesday.
Deeside Sixth is closed “due to potentially unsafe conditions. The mock exams planned will be postponed until next Monday.”
All Coleg Cambria sites will be closed for full time students today. “At this stage, all sites will still be open for staff and employer courses.”
Other local authorities in the UK have opted for a blanket approach with a full school closure declared, however in Flintshire it appears the decisions are being left to each Head Teacher as is customary.
As always parents should have various digital notifications in place to inform them direct.
