Significant snow is expected to fall from 3 am combined with strong winds, followed later by freezing rain. Due to the forecast, Liberty Bus has advised that school buses will not be running and the Police and other services have supported the school closures on safety grounds.
Following an Emergency Planning meeting this morning with Jersey Met, the Emergency Services and other agencies, the Education Department has taken the early decision to close schools tomorrow, allowing parents more time to make childcare arrangements.
A decision will be made later tomorrow about school openings for Friday.
