North Kirklees weather: List of Thursday’s school closures and late opening times across Dewsbury, Mirfield, Batley and Spen as ice continues to cause disruption

This means that some pupils in Dewsbury, Mirfield, Batley and Spen will be missing a fourth consecutive day at school immediately after the Christmas holidays.

Other settings will be starting a bit later.

Crossley Fields, in Mirfield, remains closed due to its boiler “not working consistently enough to give sufficient heating or hot water for the school,” while Earlsheaton Infant School is closed “due to sewage leak and adverse weather conditions making the site unsafe.”
