School closure details

Snow on the ground inevitably means some schools will be forced to close this week. Here’s how to find out which ones will be shut in south Norwich.

Bitterly cold weather and a risk of snow in the forecast for at least the next week.

The county council list the schools which are closed on their website. The council recommend parents check early in the morning to see which schools will be shut. It also lists details about other council services, such as mobile libraries, which are also cancelled.

Even if the roads are relatively clear, school boilers can pack up during a cold spell, as was the case at Colman Infants School last January. There is also a council helpline number: 0844 800 8019.
