Jersey schools will be closed tomorrow - Thursday 1st March - because of bad weather. The forecast is for significant snow from 3am combined with strong winds and followed by freezing rain. School buses will not be running in these conditions and the Police and other services have supported the school closure on safety grounds. This early decision also means that parents have more time to make arrangements for tomorrow.

We'll keep an eye on the weather forecasts for Friday and will be taking advice from Jersey Met and the emergency services about whether it will be possible to reopen schools. Please check here on our twitter feed @JerseyEducation for the latest updates.
