Schools update on Storm Chandra

AMBER and yellow weather warnings are in place for NI tomorrow and the potential impacts on schools are being kept under review.

The Education Authority (EA) said the situation has been discussed with the Department of Education and Minister and there are "no current plans to issue general school closure notices".

A spokesperson added: "School leaders are asked to monitor and assess the weather warnings and conditions in their areas and to take local decisions if required.

"School transport services will operate but may be subject to disruption due to high winds and the risk of flooding.

"In line with PSNI advice, contingency plans are being finalised to avoid coastal roads where possible.

"Parents should be aware of the potential for disruption to school transport tomorrow as, in some cases, they may have to make their own transport arrangements for their children."
