We have had some snow here in NW Essex but not too bad and school has been open all week, although we were encouraged to take them home early on Wednesday. Today school is closed and I have no idea why - no more snow overnight. Yes it froze overnight but it has done all week. I think the headmistress couldn't be bothered.... Anyone who works in a school suggest why? any other schools done this? The reason on the website was `the weather'. If not open on Monday I am taking my children away somewhere for the week. They are confused and bored - Christmas holidays over and need to go back. Don't schools have a commitment to open? (state primary)
