SNOW: Two schools shut, Oxford Bus Company running normally
8:45am Monday 6th February 2012 in Oxfordshire
TWO primary schools in Oxfordshire are closed today due to the cold weather conditions.
St Swithun’s Primary School in Grundy Crescent, Kennington, is shut because its boilers are frozen.
And St Kenelm’s Primary School in Wenrisc Drive, Minster Lovell, has also suffered a boiler failure.
Both schools expect to reopen tomorrow, according to Oxfordshire County Council’s website.
Oxford Bus Company said it was running all routes as normal.

I work within the heating industry and my packed up last week, I can assure you this was not down to neglect. And most schools are better serviced that the private industry.
Diusgraceful The school governors should be asking why the caretaking at this building paid for by taxpayers is so sloppy. And then ask the head teacher why his/her management is equally sloppy. This would not be tolerated in a business and should not be tolerated in a taxpayer funded entity.

I bet some parents of children at this school were not quite so understanding when they couldn't go to work because of it.
