We have put together a list of schools that have delayed their openings after severe winter weather has caused disruption to commuting.
Due to the cold snap, many of the schools in Leeds have decided to open later than usual to give parents and children the chance to make it to school during the severe wintry weather. However, some have been unable to open due to ‘dangerous surroundings’.
