so why would they be closed???
Look at original post IDP. My school is in Exley / Siddal, and is at the top of a hill. Off the main road, Calderdale council have not gritted for over a week. The area is council / mainly low income area, my school is a 'challenge' school due to the low starting level of the pupils. A significant number are free school meals / special needs / from very low income homes. It irritates me that the council can be bothered to clear 'high achieving' schools but leaves ours to suffer. Last week 3 teachers ended up with cars facing wrong way after skidding due to the roads. I'm annoyed, I want to teach, I like my job!!!!!
