Full list of UK school closures today after snow causes chaos across country

Many children across the UK will see their Christmas break extended today as numerous schools have been forced to close due to heavy snowfall.

After a weekend of severe weather, including temperatures plunging to -11C in some places, snowstorms have wreaked havoc on the country’s roads, rail networks, and airports, which has seen flights at Manchester and Bristol airport grounded until further notice.

With seven weather warnings still in place, millions of commuters face further disruption this morning, and rural communities may be cut off as up to 15 cm of additional snow is expected to fall today. 

The widespread adverse conditions have led to the closure of schools across the country, primarily in Yorkshire. A full list of which can be found below:
