SUFFOLK: Hundreds of schools across the county are planning to reopen their doors this morning, after heavy snow caused closures.
Many schools were under pressure to open today to ensure that the scheduled examinations went ahead as planned.
However, the treacherous conditions have caused some schools to remain closed - while others will start the day later than planned.
Many parents had been contacting Suffolk County Council after about 70 per cent of schools closed to pupils on Thursday and Friday.
The apparent over-eagerness of headteachers to shut schools in bad weather is due to be questioned in the House of Commons today .
