It looks set to be another snow day for Swindon school children as reports of school closures take place across town and the surrounding area.
Snow and ice are set to blight the South West this afternoon meaning that conditions are too perilous for many schools, colleges and nurseries to remain open throughout the day or in some cases open at all.
@SwindonAcademy1 will be open as usual today.
