Gloucestershire schools closed on Tuesday, December 13: Full list here

Some Gloucestershire schools are just "partially closed," implying that alternative arrangements exist for students who prefer to attend these schools.

Agencies
Even though precipitation had been predicted for the area, the snow that fell on Sunday in Gloucestershire was far higher than many people had anticipated. After being stuck in the snow, many drivers were compelled to abandon their automobiles.

A few schools are not in session today due to the dangerous driving conditions that have remained since the snowfall that occurred on Sunday. Today, as opposed to Monday, the majority of schools began classes.

Some schools are "partially closed," meaning alternate arrangements exist for the kids attending such institutions. You should contact the school directly if you have any concerns or questions about whether or not your institution is functioning differently today.


The snow that fell on Sunday in Gloucestershire was far more than many people had expected, although precipitation had been forecasted for the region. Many motorists were forced to exit their vehicles due to snow, which led to the closure of many roadways.

Although there won't be any more snow, the snow that fell on Sunday is still very much around because of the below-freezing temperatures. Some schools in areas with a lower population density have discovered that this is a problem.

Here is a list of a few schools that are closed-

Striking makes that hole bigger and the task of finding a resolution ever more difficult." Strikes make the hole wider and resolution harder.
