Schools are already closed to most children due to the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, however children of key workers and those classed as vulnerable are still allowed to attend in person.

However, the heavy snowfall in Sheffield today has meant that these pupils must now stay at home as the schools have been forced to close.
