Last updated: 7:09am Tuesday
Having battled with updating the “are they open, are they closed” nature of school updates over the last week, we’ve decided to come up with another way of doing it.
It’s one that we hope you will find easier to understand too.
It works on a traffic light system. Green showing that the school will be open; Orange, that the decision on the school is Pending, or marked Expected to open. Red shows that it’s closed.
Hope you like it.
