There is no set temperature for a school to close in the UK, indeed there is no fixed policy across individual councils and counties.
Instead schools have a statutory duty to consider the health and safety of their pupils and parents not only whilst they are at school but also during the journey to school. It is therefore the headteachers decision on a case by case scenario as to whether the school opens or not.
This can create scenarios where some schools open and some do not- even if they are very close to each other.
BBC radio Sheffield recently reported the case of Carter Knowle Primary school in Sheffield where the head teacher had always promised to keep the doors open regardless and had members of the local community and governing body volunteering to help clear the snow; wheras Ecclesall school, which is less than a mile away, closed for several days.
