Bradford Schools Shut Down Due to Icy Conditions

Eight primary schools in the Bradford district have been forced to close their doors to students and staff as a direct result of widespread icy conditions. Schools including Clayton St John and Woodside Academy are among those affected.

In addition to school closures, several other educational institutions across Bradford and the Kirklees area adopted late openings to mitigate the impact of the wintry weather. Residents in Bradford are also facing disruptions to their bin collections, which have been postponed by the council for safety reasons.

The council cited the time taken for crews to empty bins on icy pavements, compounded by increased festive waste, as reasons for delays. They advised residents to leave bins out for collection and place excess waste in tied bags, with forecasts predicting sub-zero temperatures and potential snow across West Yorkshire.
