SCHOOLS CLOSED - Thursday 7 January 2010

Updated - 6am - Thursday 7 January

Both Oakwood Infant and Junior Schools will be closed today, Thursday 7 January 2010.

We've decided to close because the extremely cold overnight temperatures, down to -6°C, have refrozen the snow and slush from yesterday completely solid. We can't guarantee to make our playgrounds and paths safe today. Additionally, the local councils haven't gritted side roads and pavements making journeys unsafe even if you are walking.

As we said earlier, whatever the decision, it will inconvenience some of you, but we hope that the early notice we gave yesterday meant you have been able to make alternative arrangements more easily.

Watch this space for news about Friday! Stay safe and warm!


There is a Southampton City Council page detailing school closures.
