List of schools closed in Shropshire and Mid Wales due to weather conditions and snow - some to re-open

Residents of the county and the West Midlands woke up to their first taste of winter and a sheet of snow after yesterday's warnings for icy weather.

As temperatures remain low and roads affected, several schools in the region have decided to shut. 

Some have announced full closures, while others will carry out inspections later today, and may re-open if conditions allow.

Bishop Hooper primary school in Ashford Carbonell near Ludlow announced its closure at 8.13am today.

An announcement said it would be closed today "due to continued snow fall and dangerous road conditions which has affected high numbers of staff and their ability to get to school this morning."
