Schools closed due to travel difficulties, safety issues and the ongoing forecast

The Department of Education, Sport and Culture has announced that its schools and UCM will be closed today due to travel difficulties, safety issues and the ongoing forecast.

A number of road closures are in place and many bus services aren’t operating because of the conditions. This decision has not been taken lightly.

Whilst some schools may be accessible, the safety of pupils and staff travelling to and from school across the Island is of paramount importance when making the decision.
