School closures thread

[midnightexpress]

Just been discussing school closures on the Glasgow local pages and thought it might be useful to have a separate thread to spread the word if anyone knows about school closures. I can start the list by saying:

South Lanarkshire: all schools and council nurseries will be closed on Thursday (situation for Friday to be reviewed)

West Lothian: all schools shut for the rest of this week.

Please feel free to add to the list, wherever you are.

.

Oh, thank you! I have been sat here angsting about whether or not to try to send the girls to school tomorrow (in South Lanarkshire) Didn't think they would say until the morning, at least now I can relax and arrange for them to go to dad's tomorrow

The schools are closed in Gloucester tomorrow apparently.

There is no bloody snow!

GOML really?

Jooly it's rather a relief to know isn't it? By the time they put it on the website we've had to leave, so it's good to know we can just lounge around tomorrow instead of getting into 25 layers and trudging off.

Primary schools in Falkirk closed till Monday at the eariest. Secondary schools may be open on Friday.

Glasgow City Council web-site has fallen over again and their twitter site has not been updated. Has anyone heard anything?

As of yesterday, they had said that they intended to open the schools although indivisulat schools may be closed and to check the web-site

A lot of schools in Dorset are closed, DC@s already driving me up the wall.

Every bloody school in town is closed apart from ours. I resent their gung ho spirit at times like this particularly as the pavements here are 6 inches deep fgs.

All closed in Fife for 4th day

I have a well placed source that has told me that police advice is that Glasgow schools should stay shut tomorrow.

Did you tap the side of your nose when you said that prettybird?

No word yet from South Lan.

My children last attended school on Friday 26th November!!

I can't reveal my source - but I trust it absolutely.

South Lan schools and nurseries closed tomorrow

-8 degrees here!

What makes me very is the Glasgow City Council twitter feed still doesn't say that.

Parents need to know as soon as possible so that they can make alternative arrangements.

So at least I'm doing my bit by trying to get the message out. :)

It's very annoying isn't it? At least South Lanarkshire have been fairly good about announcing the blanket closures ahead of time.

prettybird is MI5, dontcha know

You are right though, we need as much 'warning' as possible. Last week's dithering was really difficult to manage from a childcare point of view...

It's now official: on the GCC Twitter site.

Just checked the Renfrewshire website, and all Renfrewshire schools, under-5 centres and social work day centres are closed tomorrow (Wednesday) but they expect them to be open again on Thursday.

I have just given ds1 the good news (ds2 and ds3 are out with their friends) and he is very chuffed. Since we moved up here from Essex, their old schools have had several snow days, and they haven't had a single one until today, and were feeling distinctly miffed by this.

All West Dunbartonshire Council schools and nurseries will be closed again tomorrow, Wednesday.

It wouldn't be so bad but it's too cold for the kids to go out to play in it so they're stuck in all day, while it's -7 outside.

I suspect that given that the police told advised Glasgow City Coucil not to open the school tomorrow on safety grounds that all the schools that were shut today will be shut tomorrow.

Literally just updated on GCC's twitter site: Glasgow school will remain closed tomorrow, 9th December.

Glasgow schools

South Lanarkshire schools shut Thursday too.

I am soooooooooo bored.
