Schools Update on Storm Bram

Instead, school leaders are asked to monitor and assess the weather warnings in their areas and, if necessary, take local decisions.

The upgraded amber warning affects parts of Antrim, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone and will come into effect from 2pm to 7pm today.

Schools situated in or close to the amber warning zone should be mindful of the risks of high winds, power outages, damage to buildings, and significant disruption to transport services.

The situation will be kept under review centrally.
