Staffordshire schools shut as snow hits on Thursday

See the full list of school closures in Stafford, South Staffordshire and Cannock Chase districts.

Snow continues to fall across the Black Country and Staffordshire

More than 170 schools are closed across Staffordshire, with around 80 of these in the Stafford, South Staffordshire, Lichfield and Cannock Chase boroughs.

Problems with Staffordshire County Council website meant parents and pupils were initially unable to access the list, however the issue has now been resolved.

The vast majority of Sandwell, Dudley, Walsall and Wolverhampton schools are open, although heating problems have closed Tameside Primary School in Wednesbury and partially shut the RSA Academy in Tipton, where the school is only open to years 11, 12 and 13.
