SNOW UPDATE: School closures in West Sussex - Monday, January 21

@Dafidave tweeted us to say Have heard from Copthorne CE Junior & Fairway Infant Schools here in Copthorne that both will be closed tomorrow - Monday 21st.

Littlehaven Infant School in Horsham have the following advice on their website:

School will be open on Monday, with a delayed start of 9.30am to allow teachers who live a distance away extra time for travelling.

If you have to get to work and would like to drop your child off at normal time (8.50 am) please do so - there will be a number of staff available to look after them.

If you are able to help clear snow on Monday morning please bring your shovels/brooms from 8.15 am.

Please ensure your child has some wellies and a warm coat so that they can play on the field at breaktimes.

Some schools have announced they will be open on Monday thanks to hard work clearing paths. These include Tanbridge House School, Horsham, the Weald in Billingshurst and The Forest School, Horsham. However, parents should check in the morning in case the weather has caused further problems.

Holy Trinity School, Crawley, is closed for health and safety reasons.
