West Norfolk schools closed today are:

Edmund De Moundeford VC Primary School, Feltwell - unfortunately paths are still dangerous to enter school for pupils, parents and staff, and staff are unable to safely travel over long journeys so conditions are still not suitable to open, apologies

Mundford VC Primary School - Sorry, but we cannot guarantee sufficient teaching staff will be able to get into school today, due to freezing fog and ice on roads. The school site continues to be extremely hazardous.
Sculthorpe CE VA Primary School - School will remain closed today. After driving along Creake Road yesterday afternoon to check school, I found the road still extremely dangerous with compacted ice making access to school far too hazardous for pupils, parents and staff. Also no heating in main school due to frozen pipes. We hope to open tomorrow at 10am.

West Raynham CE VC Primary School - We are sorry to have to close again today. After driving over to the school yesterday afternoon it was clearly apparent the roads are extremely dangerous with compacted ice and we CANNOT risk pupils,parents or staff travelling on such roads to school.
