Bit late now...

I know it's a bit late now - but we did wake up to snow one day this week so perhaps it's still topical.

I wrote to the county when we had the snow at the beginning of February to enquire how many schools were closed due to the weather. The response I received was:

School	Reason	Time closed	Date closed	Date reopened
Macclesfield High School	Pupils & staff having difficulties in travelling home, especially to Buxton area	1.15pm	2.2.09	Reopened 3.2.09
Tytherington High School	Adverse weather	1.00pm	2.2.09	Reopened 3.2.09
Pott Shrigley Primary	Adverse weather	?	2.2.09	Reopened 3.2.09
All Hallows High	Adverse weather	2.00pm	2.2.09	Reopened 3.2.09
Fallibroome High	Adverse weather	?	2.2.09	Reopened 3.2.09
Poynton High	Adverse weather	1.30pm	2.2.09	Reopened 3.2.09
Wincle Primary	Adverse weather	?	2.2.09	Reopened 3.2.09
Wincle Primary	Adverse weather	Did not open	5.2.09	Reopened 6.2.09
St John's CE Primary, Macclesfield	Adverse weather	Did not open	5.2.09	Reopened 6.2.09

Certainly not as much of an over reaction as was seen in other counties. I can see why Wincle may have problems, but I was a bit surprised to see St John's on Ivy Road shut...it's in an urban area and most of the families live within walking distance.
