Snow school closures
Two schools will be closed today because of the cold spell.
Alfred Street Junior School, Rushden, and Gretton Primary School have started their half term breaks early after deciding not to open today.
The Rushden school has been forced into the decision due to a heating failure, while the Gretton school says it is unable to open because teachers are unable to get to the school.

Friday, February 10, 2012 at 05:54 PMClearly those teachers have never watched ' Ice Road Truckers '. Driving a god knows how many tonne lorry on icy roads with a cliff face a few inches away from the wheels both sides :o) The roads were fine today. I got to a tiny village with really snowy roads and I am now home and in one piece. Jokers.

Friday, February 10, 2012 at 02:26 PMClosing a school because of no heating is a perfectly viable excuse, but closing the school because 'teachers can't get there' is pathetic! Stop building snow men, and use your shovels in a more constructive way!
